WWIND?
I have this serious conundrum right now. H has a conference to attend in September in NOLA. I have been planning/thinking that I would go with him, and we would do a drive out to the Keys.
All along, the issue has been whether I should take my vacation just then or not. What is making it difficult is the following:
- My trial period ends the first of Sept.
- My first big project launches the same week that I would leave.
- Almost my entire office will be away for a trade show
- I have a salary review that same month.
Sooo... WWIND? My boss or manager won't tell me I can't (because it's my legal right to have vacation when I wish) and that's pretty much the same thing everyone says to me. Argh. So tough!
Re: WWIND?
I would probably postpone and just have H go to NOLA and come home. It does not sound like a good time for a vacation.
I agree. Use your vacation time and go somewhere fab in Europe while you're here.
Poop.
I think we'll try to plan something in October around our anniversary again.
So. Where to go, in Europe, in October?
Wedding stuff.
I'm going to be in the minority, but I say go-- you've told your boss well in advance, so it's not like you're just dropping this on everyone and I'm sure you've worked hard to be organized and get things into a state of ok for the time you're gone.
Frankly, there's never a good time to miss work. I know work's important (I pulled a happy 6hrs, uncompensated, just today... happy Sunday), but IME, there never is a "perfect time". There's always a crisis and they always need more. You need to force yourself (at least I do) to set reasonable boundaries. In this case, given the advance notice and follow-through, I think it's a reasonable boundary.
It's like me, yeah I came home after 6hrs today b/c I wanted to cook dinner and have a normal evening w/ H (haven't eaten in in weeks-- my schedule's been a disaster). I could and maybe some would say should have stayed til tomorrow morning. But I didn't. In my case, half a day was a reasonable boundary. I'm mildly stressed b/c I know tomorrow will be God-awful busy, but oh well. Home and cooking a turkey!
Anyway, I think you've been fair and deserve the trip! Good luck w/ your decision!!!
I think both of my immediate coworkers will be gone, but I don't know about my manager.
BLARGH! This is too tough!! It was almost easier when I was just not working and had no money ffs!!
Wedding stuff.
This, sad to say
But have fun planning something fun in Europe in October!
