I've been dicking around with MA for 2 years putting up with kooky kids and kooky race dads, I'm ready to ride again and need to get my vacation dates put in.
Got it mostly done, waiting on 2 tracks to be able to post it. Hoped to hear from them yesterday but didn't happen.
I’m glad someone else asked. My vaca time for all of ‘21 has to be submitted by tomorrow. And none of it is guaranteed. It’s a pain in the balls really because I always end up missing out on dates that I would’ve loved to make
Man if this is a requirement and you can’t change the dates you are working for a real shitty company...
This. If you are not allowed to have a life outside of work, I would suggest that you recommend they engage in self buggery.
Hey Mongo, Any chance you are scheduling the new track at Buttonwillow? Supposed to be done in Spring. Would love to see a double header there and different track each day would be AWESOME!
Get hurt at work a couple of days before every race you want to attend . As long as you list Workmen’s Comp on your sponsor sheet you are good to go ...
My wifes work is the same way pretty much. The more senior you are out of 7-8 people you get the vacation schedule first and everyone pics their vacation for the year in January, after the more senior people pic theirs first and no overlap. Such a PIA since I can take off whenever I want. So we always have to plan the year out for her stupid work and race season. I like to take Fridays off before race weekend to drive out and get spot. I understand his struggles.
Pharmacist in the retail setting. Is what it is. If there’s no pharmacist they can’t open the doors. Can’t have every RPh asking for 4th of July week off, or April break, or Memorial Day weekend... only so many licenses to open the doors. Yeah, it’s a shitty reality of the gig, and I work for one of the better retail outfits. Luckily my partner is pretty amenable to swaps but to swap a weekend is 2 week shuffle of days.
I find it tough to schedule at a track before it's done - every single time it has bitten us. But I am talking to them. Also I'd never do a double header on two tracks, just more hassle than it's worth, I'd prefer a second date
If it's not too late email me and I'll give you what I have - just know anything can and probably will change.
Summit was on the n2 endurance race lost so I'd bet that's likely Hopefully vir too! Njmp can suck a fart
If I had a chance to request anything from Santa Mongo and Mrs Santa Mongo it would be a mini race at Summit this year the Sunday after the N2 endurance race there. I’ll do my best to get more kids to come get some big track experience from the MiniGP local scene. WERA did it this year the Sunday after the Nelson round and it didn’t eat into the days schedule of events.
