They’re shutting down my office.
This should be a good thing.
Last year, when they shut down the fucking office, they just gave us the time off.
This year - the rat bastards are making me use my vacation time during the holidays. Yep, they’re forcing us to take 3 days of vacation.
This is somehow supposed to make me feel happy.
I HAD PLANS FOR MY VACATION DAYS!! But those are next summer.
I have no desire whatsoever to use them over Christmastime. I wasn’t going to take them off. I’m not going anywhere. I have no time to make plans whatsoever, so I’m stuck in Seattle, wasting 30% of my precious vacation time for the year. This of course means I have to cut next year’s vacation short because I can’t afford to take more time off.
My boss of course would have taken the time off, his family is in an entirely different state - so he is going to see them. Good for him. He can use his damn vacation days. But wasting mine is unfair.
This sucks.
(Yes, I know it could be worse. I could be unemployed. I could have no vacation whatsoever. But when I do have it, I should get to decide when I fucking want to take it.)
And now I have to go to our midday Holiday Party and pretend to be happy.
