Amazing bosses!!!!!!!!!

My sister, mom, and I took Fysh (the family dog) on a walk today. I was told that this weekend is Ashley's last weekend before going back to Johnson. Mom asked me to find out if I could get a PA day for Sat.

I thought, sure why not? So I went to work, and normally you have to put up a pretty good fight to get a PA day. In case you don't know what PA days are.... You can get 40 hours off work with pay. Most people take them a day at a time, but you can use 4 hours at a time. So, let's say you have a kids ballgame you want to go to, you can go to work for 4 hours and get paid for the last 4 or vice versa.

Okay, back to my story, which isn't too hard to find.... I went up to my "new" boss and here is our conversation:
Me: Is it 100% (A.K.A. HAVE to be there or it counts against you.) for Sat.?
Scott (my boss):I'm not sure, I haven't heard anything yet.
Me: If it is, could I please have a PA day for Sat.?
Scott: You'll have to look in the book. We can only let 2 people have PA days at a time.
Me (so sweetly I'm sure he needed an insulin shot.): This is my situation... My sister is going back to college next week, and this is her last weekend at home. My parents, brothers, sister, and my sister in law are all going out to eat Sat. evening, and I want to go with them.
Scott: I'll tell you what... I'll take care of it. If you don't want to waste a PA day on a Sat, I'll cover you, and you can keep your PA day. However, if you want to waste your PA days that's up to you.

I've discovered that it's bosses like that in which everyone wants to bend over backwards for. He has earned my respect.
