work HR SNAFU

...ugh. Apparently I am severely in arrears on the days of Annual Leave I'm allowed to take, thanks to a series of disconnected systems that didn't notify us of the issue back when it happened in 2013.

As a result, I'm going to have to take Leave Without Pay for the upcoming holiday.

My sister: Can't you just cancel the holiday?
Me: Frankly, cancelling the holiday isn't worth the money it would save.

This is not stress that I need right now. NOT NEEDED.

2016, why you suck so badly?

they coming to take me away (hee-hee)

Well, not quite. They're sending me to Tasmania for a week. Next week, in fact.

I guess it'll be a practice run for the holiday - out of home, away from my medical assistances, and dealing with the hand and the foot and the health while on the move. Although the working will be...interesting.

I'm trying to sort out the issue with leave; I'm thinking the simplest option is LWOP, although that will dock my payslip something fierce in August. Ah well, I did have savings - note tense.

The stress will not be fun, however.
