I applied with my boss to take a 3-day weekend on 11-11, 11-12, and 11-13. (Normally I work weekends.) He said it should be no problem.
Shortly thereafter, I find out that a coworker of mine has already requested that week off to go see his stupid family.
NOT ONLY can I not have the weekend off, I am going to have to work EXTRA to cover my friend's vacation.
Truly, this is the end. It's been nice knowing you all. *reaches for bottle of acid*
