Well, this definitely qualifies for the "oh, bugger!" icon. A thread of gloom has slipped into my idyll, in that I've realised that I'm not going to be able to turn around and take another holiday the first week in September. :-(
First of all, I forgot before I left that I have to hand in an itinerary to work a month beforehand if I'm travelling out of the country (even to the UK). And I haven't done that, because I hadn't even the faintest idea where I was going to stay yet. Then, when I was wondering whether they would be willing to bend that rule, I remembered that I need to file my timecard for this week. And realised that I'm going to max out the amount of leave I can "borrow" (i.e., take before I've earned it) this week, and so won't be able to borrow more within a month for another trip. I had thought I calculated this all out carefully, but apparently I goofed somewhere. It's going to be another couple of months before I can take another week off.
Apologies to those I was hoping to see--I seem to manage to do this far too often. My falling out with my friend in Glasgow, Dad getting sick, the car breaking down, my running out of leave... I don't seem to do well with planning trips there; I don't think I'm even batting 50% for executed out of planned. :-(
