Kicking myself 26DEC11

Home after a hard day's work, and got right down to business. Planned out the site on google's new builder, got the logo up and looking sweet, and then it's time for the program, the main events. Damn, what were the exact days I requested off again...

...

shock horror...

I made the requests many a month ago. For those not in the know, I can request tentative days off, and the roster system will try and accommodate me. However, I can make requests within 3 months to 1.2 months beforehand, and granted no one else has requested the days off, I get em guaranteed. Turns out when I made the request, I fell outside of the 3 month window, and the request became tentative. Now its beyond the 1.2 month deadline, and the days off are STILL tentative.

Still, given I put it in a long time ago, and I've sent a begging email towards planning, there is hope that most of these days will work out. Next to that Ive thrown in loads of trip requests that build around having those days off. The biggest ones, and those I asked specifically towards rostering, are 18-19 feb. I HAVE TO HAVE THAT OFF.

No drama yet, no disaster, just a little hurdle to get over. Still, kicking myself.
