I believe here in the South we started saying "special" instead of "retarded". And then we followed it by saying, "Bless his heart". Well, my supervisor has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is special. Bless his heart.
Remember when I asked for the 2nd week of September as vacation and he forgot? Now I believe he wants a week away from me ASAP.
I'm usually off Tuesday & Wednesday nights so I drew a calendar just showing the days of the week. I didn't put days of the month to confuse him further. I pointed and said, "If I can have my usual Tuesday & Wednesday as soon as you can work it in your schedule and the next week Tuesday & Wednesday, ok? Now, the Thursday thru Monday twixt & tween as vacation, I''ve got things I really need to do in my yard before it gets ass biting cold.
Bless his heart! It took me 5 minutes to show him how any 7 day period don't have to start w/ Sunday to equal a week. And another 5 minutes to explain to him that Thursday thru Monday is in fact 5 days.
I gave him the calendar I drew to keep for himself. Then he said (Bless his heart) and I quote, "You're already scheduled to work this Saturday". I almost bit my tongue off before saying, "Saturday, Sunday & Monday ain't in this dog race. Lookie here. I want my usual nights off 2 weeks in a row as soon as you can make it happen. The 5 nights in between instead of being at work I want my vacation".
Does anybody else not comprehend what I'm asking? Is it that complicated? Or is he really special ?Bless his heart!
