my unanswered leave request ü

November 27, 2008

So what do you say, when you send an sms to your boss for a leave and got no answer?

Its a long weekend and I am making it longer by asking for a leave tomorrow. Yeah, probably its asking too much. Monday (December 1) is a holiday and here i am asking for a leave on Friday. That would give me  fours days of unadulterated fresh air and healthy foods eaten with the company of loved ones. Ahahaha!

I got silence from my boss.  If only he knows…

I want to travel province-bound early so I can have a free-ride. My sister’s driving home  tomorrow and she needs company to a four or so hours of travel. If don’t go with her,  I will be commuting and competing with likely vacationers who would ushering to the bus station. Hitching with her would give one stingy person an equivalent of one-way fare. Hmmm, not that i hate commuting. I also like it. Gives me pleasure to wrestle with empty seats when we are competing for few available ones. Hehehe, isn’t that fun especially when there’s a fair competition to land on one. Its like that famous Trip-to-Jerusalem fun game. Although, admittedly, i got pestered oftentimes when people who don’t know how to compete fairly gets to be the first to rest their asses. Grrr… or should i telling my self, “whoever says that life is fair anyway”?

I got silence from my boss.  If only he knows…

December 1 is the death anniversary of my father. Hmmm… makes me sad. We lost him early. And whattalife it has been. Still life has been good to us. We’re a bunch of toughies now, i would like to believe.  My not getting a nod for a leave tomorrow is nothing. Though, i would appreciate if my boss allowed me.

I guess i should report tomorrow morning and then try to ask instead for a half-day leave. What do you say? Nothing beats persistence, hehehe. Maybe i’ll just my sibling to wait for me in the afternoon. Otherwise, she’ll miss a lively chatter from a very good story-teller like me. Ahahaha, tell me how could a non-writer like me tell a story. You know, I am bluffing.

Hmmm, anyway… If you still haven’t notice, I am writing now so i could have an entry for this month, hehehe. Miss these moments when I could just write and press the keys and see the letters appearing on the screen. Free-flowing letters coming from nowhere and meaning nothing. tsk, tsk, tsk, what a crap am I. Just came from a meeting with one of our foreign consultants and he is asking for a lot from our team. My boss is not there, but he probably knows i should be reporting tomorrow so i could get things done and lessen some head aches. Okidoks. Yeah, i know he’s a good guy. For all i know he just didn’t get what’s my sms about because he’s full and got enough of trouble already to trouble answering a leave request. But don’t we know that silence means YES. Yahoo!

What do you think would happen if I just don’t report tomorrow? Would i still have a work to return to on Tuesday?

Hehehe… what a nice question to end this entry.
