Today my coworker filed for three weeks off for vacation. Cool, I hadn’t taken a week off in half a year so I decided it was time to file for two weeks off, taking place after hers as blackout dates are coming up (no vacation time during those). I’m sitting on 267 hours saved up.
I got caught up in selecting the dates I forgot to fill in the name part, no big deal, so I compete the rest of it.
Now my supervisor, store manager, general manager, and even their best pal the receiver are crowded around talking about it when the GM asks “Why do you even want to take vacation? You don’t go anywhere, just going to sit around in your room for two weeks straight playing video games?”
Well excuse me Mr Stands And Sits Around All Day Chatting About Sports While Earning More Than Anyone Else In The Building, I actually work around here having to suffer through burnout on shifts somewhere between 4:30am and 10:15pm five days a week without a personal chair and office..
I would love to just sit back and relax for a good long period of time with nothing to stress over and no one to drive my introvert mind to the brink of insanity!
That’s what vacation is for, to get away from work and do whatever, even if nothing at all! I’ve hardly been playing video games this year from exhaustion and disinterest, but he likes to bring it up constantly like it’s all I ever do.
I mostly just watch anime or listen to music and take care of a community cat in my backyard during my short free time.
I just want to be at peace briefly in this miserable existence until the next week off 6 months later.
People are insufferable.
