silverthorneMy boss? She rocks.
You see, Dad will be here next month, from the 12th to the 17th, when he heads out for AZ. My normal hours at work would cover the 12th-14th (Wednesday through Friday), and two of those days are typically heavy and ugly days with lots of things to process. So I don't really feel right asking for time off, and leaving my co-workers in a lurch trying to cover MY chaos along with their own.
So my next best bet is to go in and simply move as fast as I can each day to get out as early as I can, which was cool with my boss.
Only...she decided that just wasn't enough.
So, she got together with the one purchasing agent (who was actually my original boss here), and had a talk with her when I wasn't looking.
...So now? I have the 13th off.
My boss? Is cool.
And to think I thought working for her was going to be hell. Boy was I ever wrong.
Heh, also ETA? If you think it's weird that I'd choose work over seeing my dad...well, I got my work ethic from him...and he and I had already talked about the fact that those were bad days to ask off. His attitude is 'It's okay, go to work, we'll still have plenty of time together when you get home'. :)
