Vacation
They finally approved my form to go home for Easter, one day before I was scheduled to leave. It had to be signed by my boss, his boss and the section chief.
I turned it in a while ago and my boss signed it and took it to his boss, but his boss rejected it because I had written that I wanted to go home for a religious holiday. For some reason, they wanted me to write that I wanted to go home for personal reasons. Saying I wanted to go home for a religious holiday was too explicitly religious.
So I made the change and my boss's boss signed off on it. Then, my boss took it to the section chief and he rejected it because it said I wanted to take off for personal reasons, and he did not think that was a legitimate reason. This set off a meeting with my boss, his boss and the section chief where they discussed the merits of leave for religious holidays versus personal time. They agreed to leave it as time off for personal reasons because the form was already printed. But then, the section chief noticed that I said I was leaving tomorrow morning, and had not filled out a specific time. So, my boss brought the form back to me to fill in the exact time I was leaving in the morning, and the exact time I was returning on Saturday.
With all the requisite signatures finally in place at 7pm, I am free to fax it off to the HR person for final approval before heading out at 9:15 am tomorrow.
I have to say, my boss may have been honored at first when they asked him to be team lead. Little did he know that he would spend his days shuttling back and forth between offices getting permission for people to go home for the weekend.
