This Is Why I Can't Have Nice Things

[serinde]

Or, In Which A Bolt Drops From The Heavens This Afternoon:

To all ICIT Staff:

The first day of classes for the fall term is August 27. In line with ICIT policy, 
staff may not take annual leave time or other voluntary time off (personal days, etc) 
during the week before or the week of the start of classes. This year the block starts
August 20 and ends August 31. Please note that labor day is Monday, September 1. 

Why do I care? Because I really wanted and needed to go to Burning Man this year. It is exactly what my mind and spirit require. And, because this "policy" was in no wise communicated to me, nor is it written anywhere that I can find; it's just one of those things that Everyone Knows But No One Thinks To Tell You. I grow excessively weary of that class of things.

Plan on having a long fever.

Of course, i think i'd rather get sick than go to Burning Man.
