Scratchings on the Wall
I am mopey.
I found out on work scheduler I cannot attend many of the cons I want to attend to this year. Unless, I am able to persuade a coworker to take those shifts. The problem is, work gives only gives me 1 week in advance for the following weeks schedule. I wish it gave us a month in advance. =(
May 12th - 25th are red weeks (i.e. no vacation time available)
= No What the Fur or Anime Boston
June 30th - July 6th is a red week.
= no Anthrocon
(I was stupid and forgot to look at my scheduler to see if it is a green week. So I requested that time off for vaca. I was denied because they said it was a red week. I am a dork. XD)
October is blank for the month, which either means they haven't scheduled for that month or I might be lucky and use PTO for FurFright. At this point, I am not holding my breath at this point.
My dilemma is do I register for the red week cons and hope I can persuade coworkers to take those shifts or should I not register?

What are the odds of being able to get someone to cover for you? That's the question you need answered first, before laying down money for a con.

I would wait to register for the cons that are very iffy.. and just pay a little extra at the door.

Was going to go to FWA...but got some medical bills I have to pay off...and my college's job fair is that same weekend :/ Am going to AC though (at least strongly considering it :D). Sucks you won't be able to get that weekend off :( We could've roomed/drove down together :3 Hopefully you can make it to FF though! It woujld be awesome to room with you again! :D *hug* Does your work have a shift swap type of thing where you write down you need a certain day/days off and if someone sees the shift posted on the swap shift sheet, they'll put in they'll take the shift?

OP
We do have that system but being able to find someone on sch short notice is like winning the lottery depending on the days you want to switch or give away hours.

FF is better than none at all.
