So in back in march I earned a few vacation days. At the beginning of May I decided what I wanted to do with them. I wrote up on the calander like I am supposed to that I will be taking next week off. I even left the boss a note describing the days off I wanted. Let me repeat this was at the beginning of MAY.

Boss says "That's fine we will have the sometimes cover person take care of your days for you."
I work four days a week so with my vacation time and my normal days off I will end up with eleven days off.


The co-worker I have a complaint about gets her stupid arse arrested a month ago for possession. So she is trying to camping as many weekends as possible on her vacation time before she "cleans up"

So she is *****ing at me that I am taking all these days off (only one is a day off that isnt vacation) and she can't go camping if I don't work atleast the next weekend.
I tell her "To bad, your getting arrested isn't my problem and I am not changing my time off because of this. I asked for the time off two months ago. WITH A FREAKIN LETTER :mad: "

She actually tells me" You shouldn't ask for time off like that. Things happen in two months time. You can't have 11 days off."

When does she think I should ask for that much time off. The week before?

As far as I was raised you gave as much notice as possible about time you were taking away from work. I just couldn't believe what I heard when I walked through the door today. Manager said it was ok, Assistant was a little frazeled by it because the manager didn't contact the cover person(Got the time covered anyways). But because I wouldn't bend to her whim I am an *** :mad: .

Yes this person is the baby of her family and acts it every time she gets a chance.

eh, I wouldn't give it much thought. If you do, think of her while having a beer on your vacation ;)

I would remind her, politely or not, that she is not in charge of hiring / firing / or vacation day allotment and the appropriate person to address with her concerns is not you but your boss.

I often have to remind the guys here that there job titles do not involve managerial roles and I will handle the problems / issues... You two fighting over it is not going to make the boss happy - just direct her to the proper person and if she continues to annoy you about it, go see that person yourself with your concerns.

She probably has rabies, which means we will have to kill her.
You know what to do? Thought so.

Why concern yourself with what a druggie says or thinks about you and your well-earned vacation?

I asked for a 10 days to go to Hawai'i a month before I went, and I had only been there a week. I told them that they could give it to me or not, but I wasn't going to skip Hawai'i. I just wouldn't come in to work.

They gave it to me.

Eh it's all frivilous now. I'M ON FREAKING VACATION.
Do I plan on doing anything? Yes, shooting some paintball, drinking some beer, and wasting my time.
