Pennsic

[collwen]

you guys are right.... I may well not be able to go. I need to find out how many days I used due to personal illness and Ed. I need to find out what, if anything, my direct bosses can do to help.


I need the break... but can't afford to do it unpaid. Part of me is screaming in frustration because I need to get away. If my only true vacation this year ends up being eaten up because I did what I had to do for my family... while I don't regret doing what I had to do, the unfairness of the universe is getting a little fucking tedious to put up with (to put it mildly).

Part of me just wants to give up on everything so badly right now.

update: I think another thing that is making it hard is the fact that everyone here just got back from vacation, is on vacation, or talking about the vacation they're about to take. And here my vacation went out the window because I did what I had to for my family.

A number does not mean that we accept these things as gracefully as we'd like. You are stressed. Of COURSE, you're going to be upset about this. It's totally normal! And it's so much better to vent your frustrations than hold them in. (Learned that lesson the hard way.) Just remember that there are alternatives...

I tend to get embarrased when the frustration leads me to leaking (my term for crying when I don't want to/feel that I shouldn't), especially when I'm at work.

especially as I get older. I shouldn't loose it at work like I did yesterday.
