Start Screaming
I am going to start screaming. I have worked hard for the opportunity, I've earned it and I deserve it.
Why?
Well I had a scheduled week of vacation. It was all planned. It got cut short because someone did not listen to me.
Her cat is very ill. Her cat should not have been left at the vet for the week. I knew something was going to happen. After all, just look at the poor kitty she looks like the Velvetine Rabbit - well loved but pretty scraggly - and she's 15 years old.
I said "no, you shouldn't go" told her that the cat needed her at home. But oh no! Despite already having had her vacation of two weeks in a previous month, she was determined to be part of this one week.
Keep in mind I just started a new job in May it is a miracle I got this week at all. Most places would not have given it to me. Keep in mind too that I had spent the last year in a job-from-hell and was REALLY looking forward to this trip. I had things planned for Pete's sake!
Suffice it to say that I was right. Kitty took a bad turn. Trip got cut short. I only got to do one thing on my list and here I am stuck now with no vacation left for the year. Nothing.
I go back to work on the 11th. I am not rested. I am not happy. I did not have a good time. This can not be a good thing.
