Hmm, I tried writing this out and Blogger went stupid. :/ I wrote a long post too...It didn't even save it.
Anyway! Recently (as recent as yesterday) I was at SacAnime selling art with a friend (from work!), April. It wasn't my first time selling my art but it was April's.
Last year (as in ...in around August or something), I suggested that we share a table. I was surprised that she agreed. So... we made sure that there was a table for us before requesting the time off. At that time, it was October and we got a table for sure. We requested time off for those days. Like I said, this was in October. [October 29, 2011 to be exact]
I found out a few weeks ago that the days were rejected.
Um.... W. T. F ?! ?!
I turned it in early for a reason! To ensure I would get the time off! Usually if you don't hear anything within 2 weeks of turning in your form; it means it was approved. If it wasn't approved, the forms would be returned to use and it would say why.
The reason my days were denied was because it was Inventory week. But... we don't do inventory on the weekends! It made absolutely NO sense! And none of the supervisors' schedules were changed!
Anyway, I decided that I needed a plan to get at least Friday and Saturday off. The only thing I could think of was to switch schedules with people since I didn't have those days off...
