I mentioned to my boss that I was only going to be out of town December 11-21, but I had requested the 11th to the 22nd off. My boss approved it, but now my boss wants me to be in the office on the 22nd because I won’t be out of town.
So I am going to take nine days off, work one day, and then get the next two business days off (12/25-26) because they are company holidays.
And because it is the day before a holiday, we will only work half a day anyway, and I am going to spend the whole day reading nine days of e-mail, which I was going to do anyway.
Part of me hopes I don’t get either job so I can stick around and get a free day of vacation. Of course I will give back the 22nd and work it. I provide some sort of security to my boss by being online, I guess, even if I am not actually doing any work (not that I would ever do that).
