My boss has a semi strict rule about vacations. Only one person off at a time. Her reasoning is that whenever someone takes off someone else is ALWAYS calling in sick and we suffer statistic wise. As much as I wan't to gripe about it, she's got a point. With eleven people to spread the time on (most of which are ALWAYS asking for time off) it can be a bitch to take off a day. Now that my friend is going on Medical Leave to have a total knee replacement it's going to be next to impossible to get a mental health day for the next couple of months. Right now I'm needing one so bad I'm almost calling it an inpatient mental health day.

The worst part about the time off is that I am the one who gets stuck backing up the slow ones. That means even though my job description is completely different I am back up for everyone. Basically, I'm fucked. Right now I'm quietly looking through the dates to just ask for a three day weekend. One extra day won't do a lot... but it's better then suffering until Thanksgiving.
