Laying down, can't sleep. Debating cracking open a beer.
I formally requested a change of availability at work today so that I get every second Thursday Friday Saturday off. I can work literally every other day... but my father is in poor health, so I made it clear that I need this time every two weeks (days my mother has off, to drive me to and from) to spend time with my family.
If they deny my request, I may just do what I did last time, and harass my managers for letters of recommendation, making it seem like I'm going to walk. I've been told by some supervisors "good luck getting those days off"... but most of the managers there think I'm a hard worker, and I've had department heads specifically ask for me to transfer over... so I'm not writing off the possibility that they'd do what it takes to prevent me from "quitting".
