Here Comes The Summer

June is here, and that means summer is upon us. The weather is nicer, the days are longer, and the work can wait another day, right? Just writing this makes me want to take a summer getaway, and I’m sure the thought has crossed your mind as well. However, doing a disappearing act is never a good idea, especially if you work for a Terrible Office Tyrant™. You may need to think creatively to make the most of your summer. First of all, talk to your boss. Ask him if there are any ways you might be able to adjust your schedule to be able to leave a little early on Fridays. Be ready to assure him that all of your work will be done on time. Second, plan ahead. Hopefully, you’ve kept some vacation days, so get them on the calendar now. Then, give your boss as much warning as possible that you’ll be taking off. However, you need to accept that you can’t always get out in the sun as much as you’d like. So, if your boss says “sorry, but I need you here on Friday,” pack a picnic lunch and catch some rays at lunch. Even a half-hour outside is better than nothing!
