Friday I caught my boss early in the morning to ask him if I could take time off to go on my trip to Spain. This was my opportunity to see how flexible the company really is.
The trip takes place, November 21 thru December 3 of this year at which point I will have accrued only one week's vacation time which left four other days to account for. As it turns out, Thanksgiving falls during that period and that Friday is also a day off for us. That left just two other days to account for and I may work the Saturday after I return or simply take unpaid days off.
That aside, I really needed favor from my director because it is a time of the year that they really need me. My director knows I will work extra hard before and after the trip to make my absence as minimum of a burden on others, as possible. After speaking with my director Friday morning, and discussin the trip a bit, he officially granted the time off!!!!!
Separately, just yesterday, I found out from the pastor leading the trip that some local musicians whom I have served with before in Mexico will also be going on the trip!!! They are great servants and their style of music will go over well in Spain and they are amazingly accomplished classical guitarists.
As a final bonus, I found out we will also be spending three days in Barcelona which I had not expected would happen.
I am soooo excited!
I love my life!
