what? the nerve! (rant )

So, I have been on break since Dec 17, I do not (or am not supposed to) go back til Jan 11 for work...

My supervisor texts me- to see about coming in Friday (not sure for how long) and gives me a list of things that will be going on Friday (one is a faculty meeting- I am SURE is mandatory) even though the adjunct employees are still on their break...But hey- the full time people have to come back- so why not have a meeting, so I get to mess up my vacation...thanks.

Anyway, I text her back and ask what time she needs me there, and how long she expects it to last-because it will be the 1st day after my DH's biopsy...(She is well aware he is having this done)

I havent heard anything back, I am sure she is irritated, but, I mean, if we get results back the day of his biopsy- depending on what they are, I might not need to be around people a few days...

Also, I would like to atleast be there for DH- even if he doesn't need me, but be here with him at home- to take care of him...anyway it is my vacation too.

 

I get irritated because they schedule meeting during adjunct employees' breaks (which is our vacation) so we have to forfeit our time... but the full time people- they would NEVER give up a day of their vacation...

 

I am mad- you think I am over reacting? 

rant over.

I do not think you are overreacting. I would be mad too.

kelfeen

can you say you are not going to make it?  that is too soon after the biopsy and you are on vacation.    I would be pissed too and would probably not go in.

I am bitchy like that though.  What are they gunna do if you dont go?

My sister said to wait a bit-if I didnt hear anything back- to text her again, and ask and say you I would try and make it if I could, but I probably wouldn't be able too...

what could they do?  I work in a will to work state- I guess they could fire me... : (

I would be very annoyed.

My work is famous for doing things like that...ridiculous.

I know...I have already started paying down my credit cards (i have 2) and I have told DH that as soon as I pay them off, I am going to go to part time work...Yeah- they don't even pay us to come in on our days off either... i cant stand that!

Dh says- do that, and we'll talk...I think he thinks I can't do it... But I'll show him!

 I would be pissed!!!! When I needed off the DAY OF my DH's biopsy my boss said to me "Do you go with him to all of his appointments? What is he a baby?" I wanted to slap the *** in her face!!!! She has had cancer and been through a lot, which I guess gives her the right to make little of eveyone elses problems. Mind you, she knows of all of our IF issues! People are ignorant when it comes to IF!!! I would say tell work you can't make it!! You could tell them that you have to bring DH back in that day for a post-op check! They will never know the difference!!!

i would be pissed too, but i would probably go in for the meeting. they should have been upfront with you about the fact that you would have this meet before you went on break.

annoying people!

I know- one of the other teachers- he is in my dept and knows about it and says men are such babies...I was furious.  I was thinking, you know I don't know what it's like, since men and woman are different, and I will never have a testicular biopsy.  But  I do know that everyone's pain thresh hold is different, and people need emotional support  I will be there because I love him- and IF is a WE thing- not a me or you thing...
