Vacation days

Last year or the year before, I had been with Air Handling long enough to earn three weeks of vacation. Since I knew I was pregnant at the beginning of 2009, I was kind of stingy with my vacation days. I wanted to save as many as possible in case, heaven forbid, something was wrong with my baby and I needed to take days off to take him to the doctor. Luckily he is fine and I don't have that worry.

In the middle of November, my boss came around and told me that I still have eleven days of vacation left this year. Since we are a small office, we aren't supposed to have more than two people out at the same time. To complicate it more, Kris, Jon and I work in the same department and we really shouldn't have more than one of us out at one time. I also fill in for Lynette when she isn't here, and we aren't supposed to be off at the same time if we can help it. If you are following along, there are three people that I need to arrange my scheduled days off.

I decided that I didn't want to work a five day week in the month of December, so that is how I scheduled my vacation days. I have a lot of Friday and Monday's off. At least I can get all my shopping and wrapping done without having to use the weekend.
