So what is stopping you from this trip now? It sounds like you should go and forget the excuses from the boss. They will always have an excuse. And if it means leaving the job to take your vacation, will you?
The only thing that stops me is a complete lack of funds. Difficult to admit. Actually, I did leave my crazy job. They wanted more and more of my soul. I had little remaining. As fate would have it, my timing was really bad. I have worked multiple jobs at a time and now I only work 8 hours a week. I am thrilled to have that. I have always thought myself “brave”, It… does diminish over time. If ever I wish to be a Tom Sawyer and live with abandon, now would be that time. My sister- in- law tells me I did everything wrong. You should not work like a madwoman, you should marry well. (or well enough) She happens to be on her 3rd “rock”. So perhaps I did do it all wrong.
