As title says. I turn 23 next Tuesday and wanted that day and the day after off work (I'm a high school teacher, and yes I almost hate every second of it.)
I told my boss that I would be visiting extended family and I'm waiting to hear back from him if I can take the days off.
I hate that I, an adult, need someone else's permission to spend MY time in MY life how I want. I hate that somehow my job is supposed to come first and everything else comes second.
But I'm also a very anxious person and I'm about to cry just waiting for an email back.
