DH works for a small business, where everyone is pretty essential.
They are managing to make sales, even in this climate, but by making promises for stuff which is really difficult. So when something needs doing, it's all hands on deck to hit the deadline.
At Christmas dh booked time off to cover from Christmas to ds going back to school, but he ended up working 2 days of it cos of a deadline.
He hasn't used much holiday in between then and now, but was told he must use up his remaining 15 days before end August.
So he booked next week off, and the week before next bank hol, and a few days in between.
We aren't going away (well two days end of Aug), but I'm planning some days out and family together time.
He's told me now that he needs to work on Monday, to get something finished for a customer. I'm cross with the company for letting this happen again, he thinks I'm cross with him, so we had a row, and I signed out of MSN.
I know I'm being a bit unreasonable, after all, he has got a job, and the employer does treat them pretty well (no probs about leaving early now & then if I need him to do school pick-up or summink, no probs re dentists & stuff), but I'm pigged off that scheduling seems to be so bad, and our plans don't seem to matter.
BTW if we had booked a flight or something, they wouldn't expect him to cancel that.
I am, aren't I?
