To those who read about the dilemma about vacation scheduling, it was never truly resolved. Instead, I booked off the time, and Sam was unable to come.

Now, I find out how betrayed I was by my boss, Virginia. It appears that when she told me only one person per supervisor could book time off, she was lying. For the week of the cottage trip, a remarkable three people are booked off for vacation time (myself, Anna and Rachel (it was accidental)).

So, I’ve been stabbed in the back. Sam is unable to come because my jealous vaca gorda of an employer sabotaged the entire endeavour from the get-go.

Moreover, I’d planned to come back and - perhaps - take Sam up for half a week. However, this plan is in vain. Virginia - in her sinister fashion - scheduled Sam for Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday of next week.

Cadela feia! Eu odeio-o Virginia!

P.S. I wish that I actually spoke Portuguese.
