Days off

Is it possible for you to take a half day on Tuesday, like you could leave after lunch, and your coworker can take off the morning so she can drop her son off at school?

Maybe that's a good idea. I know they week before I will be either leaving early or coming in late 1 day so my FH and I can go to the courthouse to get the license.

Like Gen said, a half day would be a great compromise if you're able to do that! It'll give you time to spend time with them and get last minute things done before the wedding. I'm getting married on Leap Day and will be taking off 2/27-3/10 for the wedding/honeymoon! I'm just taking off 2 days before the wedding since I'll be gone for over a week after the wedding. I could've taken more, but I wanted to save a good amount of vacation for the rest of the year.

I think this is the best option.

Thanks! We doing a mini-moon about a month after the wedding so I will be just taking a day off for that. But with a lot out of town friends and family coming into town I want to have time with people. I might talk to my co-worker to see what she is thinking too since we are friends outside of work too.

View Quoted Comment Yeah I think that’s a perfect middle ground, and you can still meet up with them for a late lunch and the afternoon, you’d just miss the morning

Yeah my boss probably would tell me to leave as it is, that's just how she is. But a half day may be the perfect solution.

View Quoted Comment I’d definitely talk to your coworker about it too to make sure she actually wants to take the morning off, maybe she’s dropping him off before work or something anyway and doesn’t intend to take off at all?

View Quoted Comment Yeah probably too early to tell. I will ask for the other days I want off. But will hold off on the Tuesday

View Quoted Comment Good plan, yeah definitely make sure you get the other days! Then if you end up doing all or part of Tuesday it’s a bonus

Kelsey it’s ALL ABOUT YOU! Take off. I’m a practice administrator and I can appreciate your dedication, however you’re going to have so much to do and going on that week of her head will be swirling. The office will be just fine. He has a head up get a temp!

View Quoted Comment True. I'm sure it will be fine no matter what I do. I hate feeling guilty taking off lol.

I will personally be working until the Wednesday morning before our wedding, at the latest. We are driving to the location on Thursday morning and setting up the Bridal party house and holding a small welcome dinner that night. Rehearsal is on Friday evening and wedding on Saturday evening. I really do not think it is necessary for you to take off Tuesday unless your wedding is Friday or if it is a destination wedding. Also, how much time are you taking off on the back end? Are you going on a honeymoon or mini moon right away? If I were leaving the following week for awhile I would for sure not take off the Tuesday before as well but that's my two cent's.

View Quoted Comment I'm taking the monday after off. We aren't doing a big honeymoon. We will be going on a long weekend for a mini moon about a month after the wedding. So I only need 1 day off. As I said I also have a lot of time build up to. The 40 hours above doesnt include the other 3 weeks I will be getting in May.

Gotcha. Well do what you feel is best by you and your employer. I don't work a 5 day a week job nor do I ever have to deal with management so it's a little different. I would be bored out of my mind if I took off almost the whole week prior.
