So, my GM is a senile idiot and in the midst of the panic of preparing for Inventory, I didn't think to badger him every day about the vacation days I were hoping to take next week [like you have to do to get any vacation in my store...]. Long story short, he didn't notice the 3 locations in the manager's office that my vacation request was notated...and he didn't give it to me. He did genuinely feel bad about not noticing, but the jerk was about to set off on his own vacation today and wasn't interested in rewriting the entire schedule to give me the week off.

I agreed to take the week after next instead, but I suppose we'll wait and see what happens...because next Wednesday I have a face to face interview with the branch manager for Loomis! I'm nervous and excited and oh so very hopeful that this will mean a new job before the month is over! If they offer me the position, I'm absolutely going to put in my two weeks notice...and at that point, obviously all vacation consideration will be moot.

So, we'll have to wait and see if I get the chance to run the test week or not.
