Holiday Blackouts

Summer Vacation.

The following dates have been booked off already and are unavailable. If you plan to take vacation time this spring/summer, please forward your proposed dates and we'll get them on the schedule. First come, first serve.

These are taken......

Kris's 57th through 61st day off in the past 12 months (I shit you not... I counted).
Thursday April 22nd to Monday April 26th

Tom Rochester's sister's wedding to a different Tom Rochester
Wednesday April 28th to May 5th

Jola's yearly vacation - short but sweet this year
Sunday May 16th to Sunday May 23rd

Nikki's joking first 2.5 weeks of July off was replaced with an apparently legitimate request for the first 2.5 weeks of June off this afternoon. I have veto'd that but have agreed to June 7th thru 17th.

Nick's Greek Adventure
Saturday June 26th to Sunday July 11th

Of the 9 weekends from May 1st to July 15th, Kendall apparently needs fully 1/3 of them off.
Friday May 14 to Sunday May 16
Friday June 4th to Sunday June 6
Friday July 9 to Sunday July 11th (Start looking for somebody to cover this one K)

Joe
Is getting yet another raise for being committed and countable uponable every single time.

Sorry... July 10th will be your last day. I misread the dates.

Niki Diamonds said...

JOE IS LEAVING?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo....... May I apply for the position of Manager of the East End?!

Dropkick said...

You seem to forget my already confirmed dates with you. There were confirmed in type and verbal... and dare i say physical acknowledgement of my proposed dates.

April 21 - 27th

I propose Francesca for East end manager, most likely the best employee either film buff has ever seen. She seems to have run across the world somewhere, but if Sporgsterz makes her a lucrative offer i bet she'd return

La Sporgenza said...

Oh you mean this Kris?....

"I would be gone for my work week of April 22nd to the 26th".

Kadas... the only full-time(!) Film Buff employee who wouldn't qualify for E.I. because he's yet to work 14 weeks in a row over 4 years of employment.

Chandles said...

I need May 14-16 off, June 4-6, and July 9-11 (9/11 y'all!)... but apparently I'm dicked on that one.

Chandles said...

And who the fuck is Francesca?

Dropkick said...

i be pimping all over the world.
can't keep me static.

but besides that quote from an email there was the verbal "we should be fine, don't worry you're going to Florida! that's gonna be great!"

and the physical gropage.

Kendall: Franny was my moon goddess

Dropkick said...

just to be fair, out of those 61 days the majority of them were spent here, say with the Fringe festival, or plays, or funerals, or family engagements or even doctor appointments.
The 3 weeks i had away in Colombia was the only traveling i've done.

Chandles said...

Yeah but NONE of my shit is fun. It's all family reunions and family birthdays and family what-not. I would honestly rather stay and work and get paid.

I will figure out that last weekend soon as I know the summer schedule/who isn't already working that weekend.

La Sporgenza said...

I'm speechless, which is probably a really good thing for some of you right now, just to be fair.

Dropkick said...

my days off are better than Kendall's day off

"Yeah but NONE of my shit is fun. It's all family reunions and family birthdays and family what-not. I would honestly rather stay and work and get paid."

so do it. i am. perfect excuse, actually. family reunion at the end of july in connecticut is a no go for me "because of work". thank god.

kris now has more dead grandmas than jola and niki combined.

Dropkick said...

i like how this post comes after a post saying thank you for all the hard work.

and Joe: both of my grandma's are very much alive thank you. and awesome. love my ya-ya's, if you must know i'm going to Florida for my step-sisters quinceanera which in english means "party my fucking ass off"

La Sporgenza said...

This post started as a place to log and coordinate upcoming vacation time and nothing more. The efforts of 15 people over the holiday weekend was being acknowledged in the previous post and it remains completely valid. The two are not connected.

While on the topic of thanking people for their efforts, it should be remembered that others step up and cover shifts when we take time away. The more time booked off, the more others are counted upon to arrange for and cover those shifts. Perhaps acknowledging those extra efforts from time to time would be a better use of focus, wit and energy.

Chandles said...

If I don't go to the family reunion my dad will cry. Actually he will cry if I go too which is far more awkward in person... perhaps you're onto something Joe.

And thanks Scott, and whoever ends up covering my shifts. Always happy to return the favour.

Dropkick said...

i like extra shifts

Niki Diamonds said...

I would like the first 2.5 weeks of July off because I will be breaking my ankle and going to ten funerals and when I get off the plane I will have a fever... Thanks!

La Sporgenza said...

Nikki's joking first 2.5 weeks of July off from the comment about was replaced with an apparently legitimate request for the first 2.5 weeks of June off this afternoon. I have veto'd that but have tentatively agreed to June 7th thru 17th.

Niki Diamonds said...

Actually July was legit but I changed my mind. I still need an extra week off. When can I schedule that out?
