Ah yes, same thing happened to a work colleague of mine who’d booked a holiday in Dubai a couple of months earlier and then her boss claimed that she had never seen the forms even though it bears her signature. Guilt trip galore.
I once didnt go to work for a whole week just to see if someone would look for me, but no-one noticed my absence or the fact that I didnt even put in leave. My jean pant must have some “invisble cloak” quality.
In my inbox today: “Can we discuss your Leave request – as you know we have x on the 31st so the period 19 – 31st is going to be busy, I would prefer to give you leave from the 1st of Jan onwards – lets discuss today…..straight after the meeting?”
In my drafts: my new leave request: leave me alooooooooooone!!!
Rule # 1: Nobody works in December in CT. NOOOOBODY!!!!

Aargh. Mine did that too. “What do you mean the Seychelles?” like he’s never heard of such a place.
Of course explaining that it was a tropical island didn’t help either.

I just beat that by never going on holiday 😉
