Well GirlWhoLikes2Laugh definitely don't tell or share the details about NEST LOL sorry could not help it. But seriously what might help is that you definitely put your request to take this time off-that weekend way in advance definitely before the 2 weeks and definitely don't wait last minute, for this kind of thing maybe bit sooner than 2 weeks or like 3 or month in advance a good thing-just make sure even if you give like a month or so advance warning that u keep updated about this time off-once again repeating the time requested off-week before also. Don't tell them about NEST, just tell them you were be out of town and you need that time off. They don't need to know your personal business, that is stuff you do off the clock, and if you get that time off you request-that is none of their business.
Request it in written form and write down you will be of town and need this time off, don't need to be specific, just say it is a important prior event out of town that you need that time off for. Most definitely like I said before don't tell them you need the time off for a tickle gathering, that is too much information-not necessary and really they don't need and don't want to hear this. LOL. The less the better.
Like I said might be helpful written request for this time -that weekend off or if you can see if you can switch alternate weekends with a coworker if you need to, like if you get that time off, you work that other next alternate weekend if that would work if it turns out your boss won't give you this time off, but probably will work-u are gonna be out of town and not near by so sure it will work, remember do this least 2 weeks ahead and like I said a month ahead notice asap not a bad idea. Hope that this helps.




you will see most employers are pretty understandable and reasonable and will work with you-after all every one needs a little bit of time off, just be glad you don't work in a hospital or nursing home, not impossible to get that time off but a lot harder.
