What a quandry I'm in!!
I want to go to Paducah and I know I need more than one day to do it. When I looked at the dates I saw that it ends on the last day of the month.
I'm an accountant. Accountant's don't miss the last day of the month, or the first day of the month. It's just not done. In fact, I've NEVER missed month end close in over 25 years of accounting. I also do not miss work in general, I logged 1.5 sicks days in 2010. None in 2011.
So ... I decided that I would say screw the last day of the month this one time and call in sick (there is no way I could schedule this as a vacation day). I know I'll be shaming myself the whole time because I was raised to uphold to a better work ethic than that, but I'll get over it when I see that first stunning quilt.
Found out today my boss is retiring. Last day ... April 28, the day I plan on calling in sick to go to Paducah!!! While I'm not terribly close to her (only been at this Co 1.5 years), it would be rude to miss her last day.
Now I'm REALLY kicking myself.
What to do ... what to do.
I have a feeling that regardless of which decision I make I'm going to be miserable.
