Short Weeks / myLot

Beaconsfield, Quebec

So last week I asked my supervisor for some time off/vacation time. I asked for this thursday and friday off (29-30), as well as next thursday and friday (5-6 of November). She approved my time off. So I am happy that this week and next are short work weeks for me. I had been pushing off and not always sure what days to ask for and all that stuff. Well last week I just decided to ask for it. I haven't taken any time off since I started this job in January. So, I think it's time to take some time off and use of my vacation time. It'll be nice to have some extra days off to relax.

Do you have use it or lose vacation time meaning does it roll over or expire at the end of a year?

Ten months with no days off is a long stretch, so good on you for finally just asking... enjoy the four day weeks

It is a long stretch. Thankfully I have had my weekends and some days off due to holidays, but I haven't take vacation time. I think I'm due.

I’m so glad for you! Everybody needs some time off, and it sounds like you’ve been working very hard. And you must be good with your boss if she was so willing to grant you time off. I hope you have a good vacation!
