This is not how long i've been on fa or when my last date was. Its something altogether different. It all started on a very dull Easter Sunday back in 2009. We never have sales worth being open on Easter. My coworker was depressed and annoyed because he had to work Easter the past few years and this was his daughters first one.

A suggested he should request next Easter off. We debated over if you could request days off that far in advance. So to settle this debate I was going to request a day off even further in the future. In the retail world there is a large black out range for time off requests it starts at the latest thanks giving and ends just after the New Year. vacation and even just days off are just not done.

So to break two ideas in one I requested the weekend of Dec 21st in 2012. This was done 3 years 8 months and 9 days ahead of time. It was approved. The thought was I would have moved on to a better job by then. I'm still here though after quitting three times and being fired.

This is now even a bit if a joke in the district office as it was brought up in a call earlier this week. As far as our dm goes its still approved. There still is 8 days left before the next schedule is made so any thing could happen.
