When I was a teacher I hated the inflexibility and rigidity of the working hours. Yes, you had a long time off during the summer but you couldn't just have a day off when you were feeling a little tired or when the weather was good... That coupled with everyone going on about how long the summer holidays were used to really annoy me.
I left the profession mainly due to stress related issues that and feeling like it wasn't where I wanted to be anymore... It was a tough decision to drop down several wage brackets and walk away from it all but nonetheless I did it.
Now I work in an office and when it comes to time off my boss is a nightmare. I'm a temp and it's almost as if this in his eyes means I am undeserving of a day off now and again. Time off for interviews and I have to fight for it... Day off for my birthday and I have to fight for it...
So tomorrow I have an interview at 9am and I am scared to ask him for the time off...part of me just wants to say I'm taking it...part of me wants to ask...another part of me is debating calling in tomorrow morning and saying that I have a doctor's appointment and will be in late...
The crazy thing about this all...in many ways he's the best boss I've ever had and if he stopped being a git about these things... he'd be perfect! |
