My coworker has been dealing with back issues and having trouble sitting at the desk. Good dude, but it's killing my work schedule. I can only work 2 days the rest of this year or lose vacation time from limited roll over. Those 2 days have to be dedicated to a specific project, but he's holding it up. I want this shit out of the way so I can enjoy vacation and 4 days later, not much progress.
And my vacation, supposed to head to Tennessee the morning after Christmas may get killed. Hopefully the forecast changes, but this far out, it's all rain (could turn into snow). I'm not driving 10-11 hours just to be stuck in the cabin for a fucking week. So I want to wait until this weekend to make that call. The ex doesn't want me to wait and see so if I don't go, she can take the kid on her already planned trip and needs to buy a ticket. Which is my weekend anyway, so she can't just do it, but I'm the bad guy if I say no since my ex only seems to plan trips on my weekends. Even more baffling is, she's married now and still lives 4 hours away from her husband. Why the fuck does she want to take a kid along on one of the rare getaways from his shit town in Georgia? Go and enjoy time alone with each other FFS, not give me shit and try to fuck up my time with the kid.
My parents were supposed to be here today, but high winds, heavy rain and some ice kept them from making the trip (hauling a very loaded down 16' enclosed trailer....not fun to haul in those conditions). Mom doesn't want to travel close to when holiday traffic picks up, so it looks like that got postponed.
Fuck I wish my boss cashed out vacation time so I could just work. I'm just going to end up sitting around smoking cigars.
