I get permission to do so, but I also get a lecture about how I really need to be here for the end of my scheduled shift. 10:20 <@dasunt> I'm thinking responding to the email with a "fuck off", but that may not be a good idea. 10:21 <@dasunt> I could not respond to that email, which just makes me look like a slack. 10:21 <@dasunt> So what I'm thinking may be a more diplomatic response is something along the lines of saying this is a veternarian emergency and I'd like to be there if the situation calls for euthanasia. 10:21 <@Dolemite> So is the lecturer the same as the one that gave you permission? 10:22 <@dasunt> Dolemite: YEs. 10:22 <@Dolemite> Then they're a fuckwad 10:22 <@Dolemite> And you work for a company that puts fuckwads in positions of power 10:22 <@dasunt> Yes. 10:23 <@Corydon76> If it's a supervisor, it's best just to ignore it. 10:23 <@Corydon76> But save it for a time when they're taking off early, and forward the email to their boss. 10:23 <@dasunt> Corydon76: I've done so in the past, and it seems like almost every time I ask for time off, unless it's done months in advance, I get pushback. 10:23 <@Corydon76> No comment needed with the forward, just an "FYI..." 10:24 <@Dolemite> So the best card to play here is to go ahead and leave 15 minutes early. Tomorrow, email or talk to the supervisor, and thank them for letting you leave early, and you realize that it may have caused some coverage problems, but you really appreciate their understanding. 10:24 <@dasunt> Dolemite: Good idea. 10:24 <@Dolemite> That's the _politics_ part of it 10:24 <@Dolemite> stroke that ego 10:25 <@dasunt> I knew someone here would have a good idea. 10:26 <@Corydon76> Looks like Rachel the phone loan scammer has a beef with the California Dept of Water Resources 10:28 <@Dolemite> Time to go see what form my food poisoning will be in, today. Didn't have stuff to bring my lunch, so it's off to the cafeteria. 10:33 -!- strages [uid11297@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-mwaxozacupvebzbg] has joined #se2600 10:40 -!- Dagmar [dagmar@unaffiliated/dagmar] has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds] 10:43 -!- Dagmar [dagmar@c-69-180-254-140.hsd1.tn.comcast.net] has joined #se2600 10:43 -!- Dagmar [dagmar@c-69-180-254-140.hsd1.tn.comcast.net] has quit [Changing host] 10:43 -!- Dagmar [dagmar@unaffiliated/dagmar] has joined #se2600 10:43 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o Dagmar] by ChanServ 14:44 <@dasunt> Trump gets another SCOTUS pic.
