I applied for annual leave from work for 2 dates: Sunday 30th Jan (up in ‘deen) and Sunday 13th Feb (El coming to Glasgow). Both were declined. The reason why I waited till today was because I had to wait for my Reserve Shifts for week commencing Fri 24th Jan to be sent to me. It was sent on Friday 14th Jan at 6:05pm – I was away by then since I was in mail room. Also on 10th Jan I emailed Duty Managers requesting I work on Tuesday 25th since I’m meant to be off duty and be off duty on Sunday 30th instead. They ignored it.

My only hope now, after I appealed to Karen, is that they can sort something out for me for the 30th and that I can apply for half-day holiday for 13th. If not, than I’ll call in sick for the 2 days. I hope it won’t resort to that. Probably don’t have to if God helps me. I just need to have faith and keep praying about it.

I’ll write what happens after I know the result.
