   So, Once again....
   I wanted some advice and suggestions.
   Of course I know how requesting goes.
   But I want to request about....4 days off?
   .....On the week of Thanksgiving.
   Plan on going out of the State.
   Now I know that "Requests are only requests" and that I am not guaranteed.
   And of the 4 daily requests allowed, I managed to get 4th for Thanksgiving, and 1st or 2nd on the other days I need off.
   Now I don't want to happen to be scheduled and not be able to come in because well, I'm about a 5 hour drive away. And not be able to get it covered cause well, no one wants to cover a shift on Thanksgiving.

   So how would you all go about this?
   So far I imagine I am going to go to my manager and tell her that I plan on being out of the state these days and I requested them off, but don't have priority.

   Have you requested the past few holidays off? I don't usually request holidays off because I seriously don't celebrate s#it, but a good way to go about requesting several days off for a certain holiday means you have to promise to work the few ones before and after.

   Yeah,well i've only been there like...4 months now? But I don't plan on requesting Christmas off, and I didn't request any of the others. I don't even want to go visit my actual family. I'm just following a band I like from vegas to L.A. LOllol. ):

   No effin way!!! Finally I have someone on my side of the country up in here :D

   I say you go cry to your manager about how you need the time off because your mom/ dad/ grandpa or whoever whom you never see is going to be in town and you don't know when you'll see them again. Be sure to promise that you'll totally work xmas.

   Hahaha, yeah. I personally thought everyone on this forum was from the east coast.
   And I'm sure I'll think of something. I have like 12 hours til I wake up and call her.

   Right? I thought I was the only who lived on the better coast ;)

   Lol, j/k guys. But not really. I could never stand the humidity from the east coast.

   Humidity?
   I couldn't stand the cold.
   California has truly spoiled me.
   Anything below about 60, and anything above 80 is uncomfortable for me.
   Actually, I couldn't stand the humidity either.

    ^ You must live in the best place ever. I am from the best place ever and was totally spoiled with the year round, unchanging weather. Now I live in somewhere else and even though it's still better weather than many other places I have visited, it's not the best place ever.

    I'm from Outer Space as well. X_X
    And even just visiting other places is hard for me.
    I am quite sure I am never moving away from here unless it's for another country.
    I mean it's literally like mini-uber expensive paradise.
    I'm in between Mars and Uranus, and as a huge movie buff and music enthusiast, Every movie comes to Jupiter no matter how experimental (which is good cause I prefer the independent/experimental films), and almost every band that actually comes to America, books a concert in Pluto Nash.
    Not to mention the great array of foreign food and especially in Neptune, the abundance of Asian markets and restaurants.

    Or the fact that you can wear sweaters and shorts year round.
    It never rains, just drizzles.
    We complain about how hot it is even though we're not even sweating.
    Not only are we between north and south, we have somewhere cool within driving distance.

    I could go on for days about why best place ever is the best place in the whole world. I don't expect you to tell me where you are, but how familiar are you with some really cool town?

    Hahaha. I totally know where that is but haven't paid attention to any stores around there. I honestly never drink coffee outside of work. The city has way too many good tea bars for me to really even patronize the company I work for. But that also has to do with that all the ridiculously delicious food around me + the kind of high rent and utilities I pay, I can't even afford to pay for a drink at a discount (but only because I know I could get it for free some other time)
    My latest hobby is locating delicious food + discounts and frequenting that place til I can't stand it anymore.

    Lol, I just went and edited everything, lol. You're the one who still lives there, I did it for you. I just think it's totally awesome that you're from (there). I'd give you a bunch of internets if I hadn't just given them all to Rick for being super handsome, lol.

    Well Thank you. It's the thought that counts.
    And I'll be the one who is stuck there, when I realized I was within walking distance of Japanese food, Chinese Food, Thai Food, Indian Food, Ice Cream, Tea Bar, a great Burger Joint, and what is probably some of the best pizza I've ever had (all of which I can have a full meal for under $10), I realized I can't leave. Ever.

    You know what I loved doing over there? Cool things in cool places. Love that little intersection there, lol. Just don't keep going down on Main street, a couple of blocks down and you hit the not-so-nice part of town, lol. But go in the opposite direction and it just keeps getting better and better :)

    I know what area you're talking about.
    I'm up near the hipster triangula, and don't find myself in that area too often except for the music store up there.
    If you are familiar with the southern area of the city and it's malls, or should I say anti malls.
    I don't frequent bars that often, more of the liquor stores.

    Lol, the anti-mall right off the freeway? I totally grew up over there, I am familiar with just about the entire town. Lol, love how I say "the ENTIRE town"? Because it's so, super big lol. I try to visit AT LEAST a couple of times a year. I was down there in May and I might be there for a wedding in less than a month (totally not the going to weddings type, meh).

    The only wedding I've had to go to was my cousins wedding which was just....drenched in religious over-tones, not to mention no alcohol. And the city is ridiculously big. It also has strange cut offs, because the area you mentioned, around 19th and all that jazz, it feels like Jupiter, and have actually always thought of it that way.

    I thought it had like....3. Because I mean there is one, then in the city next door, there is one. (And it's really only like a mile or two away)
    It also has I think....3 or 4 colleges?
    The Community College, the Art Institute, I think an actual college, then Christian College???

    Not to mention is has a giant mall that has about...3 mini surrounding malls, and 2 anti malls, and another mall-esque shopping center. Oh my gosh this city is a lot bigger than I think it is.

    There's the city college that's across from the high school, and there's the one behind the police station. The city only has two high schools, but the one high school in one place also has students from the other place. Lol, more colleges than high schools. More malls than colleges. Then there's the magical forest. I guess it is bigger than I give it credit for, but it's still a small city.

    Did you know Saturn is the second biggest planet in the solar system? Pretty impressive, huh?

    ****. That is actually the store I applied for and interviewed for. But at the last second the manager was like 'I think you'd be better at the other store I'm managing' and placed me in drive thru/frap infested/tip less hell. I dream of what latte overload/over tiploaded would have been like (though my previous coffee job was that) Despite how close I live to that mall, I never go. Cause well, I can't afford anything in it, except for the brand new two floored forever 21.
