I thought it was approved. I thought he had no problems with it -the leave and he is my manager. The last workday that he is going to be in the office before I am suppose to be leaving we finally get to have the meeting-ok we were suppose to meet on Tuesday but there wasn't a calendar posting to my calendar so time came and went. So yesterday I brought in all my "deliverables". All the spreadsheets I work on including a new one I am developing that summerizes some information from years past to current and what we use and have used and will use-it is a pain. I am not an analyst in this sense, I am using a skill I have not had a chance to fully develope so I am doing 2 things at once. We go through everything with a fine tooth comb. There is a toner that I haven't ordered-the reason is because I didn't know we even had that type of printer because the tech guys never bothered to tell me when they replaced desktop printers. Someone has run out of ink. I screwed up. I admitted it. 1 screw up. I am human. There are some things on the spreadsheets that need to be changed-that happens no matter what. Has every time no matter if it is me or his Analyst sitting there-not a biggie. Then out come the guns. he doesn't believe that when I call out sick that I am having diverticulitis-huh? And FMLA is giving advance sick-can he trust that I am going to pay it back WTF? Too much stuff at once. I am not union-if I were I would've told him stop, I am getting a steward. Actually, if I were, he wouldn't have said those things to me. I couldn't say a word. I'm faking now-I'm lying about being in pain. Long story short, we are not leaving until Wednesday afternoon-no leave without pay-which is where he had a problem. 5 days less of seeing family. I did offer to hubby to stay and he go for entire time but he just about broke down crying.

We did have a little arguing cause he did remember a couple of days of annual leave I took-uh-yeah one was to take care of him-then he did the guilt trip of how much my DGD was looking forwad to seeing us for a whole day when she was out of school-uh, he was the one who wanted to leave later not earlier-anyway-still a vacation. Just not as long. And a real kick in the pants. But some of it was deserved and I know it. Got to make sure I do all I need to when I need to. At least we don't have to run around tonight catching up on laundry and packing!! We have a three day holiday to sleep in!!
