Remember a while ago, when I wrote about how the two people I work for couldn't actually decide who my boss was? And I had decided I was going to do what I wanted anyway?
Yeah, well, apparently life doesn't actually work that way. I know- what a surprise, eh? I had hoped but I guess not. Anyway- the important thing here is that I gave these people like 2 months notice that I was going to need these 2, possibly 3, days off because I had mis-planned the dates of my family's visit.
Today I brought it up again (still a months notice)- and they were like- "what?!?!?!? you can't do that!!! you haven't given us any notice at all!!!!" Because, you know, two whole months really isn't that much notice- it was almost a bit last minute-y. *sigh*
I had to fight to get those damn days off. FIGHT, I tell you. I could understand this if maybe I took a lot of sick time and was never around and did a crappy job- but this was ridiculous. I have only ever missed one class because I was sick in the 6 months or so that I have been here.
I spent 20 minutes arguing with these people about it, before they would accept my idea of making the time up elsewhere. I am only missing 6 classes, so it won't be hard to make up at all. I still don't understand why it was such a bloody big deal. It wasn't that complicated and it's not like I was trying to skip out on my job.
ugh. It seems that they deliberately make life harder than it has to be and a lot more often than necessary too.
