Why can't I get a day off?

Ok, I admit it, I am good at my job.  Fine.  All I want though is a damn day off.  Not a weekend, I am talking like a random vacation. 

So I decided since I was in charge, it was time to take a stand and take a week off.  The week of December 11th, I am going on vacation.  I am going to sleep in and relax and game, mess around on the computer..do some Christmas shopping (sabre wants a new thong).

But nooooo....

I can't get Monday off becuase Dr. Skudder is having a major clinic and I need all hands on deck.  Thats fine, I will take the rest of the week...

Noooo....Wednesday we have to have a off site vascular clinic in a rural area becuase we can't get back out there until January.  Fine I will take half the day off..and the rest of the week.

Noooooo....Dr. Smith is doing a aortic arteriogram and needs me there to run the imaging and he won't let anyone else do it.  Sure, that time is it I say. 8am....ohh WTF.  Its nice to me needed, but I am definately going to need to drink one of the days I actually get to stay home.  I don't drink much since there is a family history of alcholism and I don't care for the taste all that much.  But I can't even enjoy a beer because I might get called into work to do somethign.....well, F that, I am drinking one of these days...come join me won't you?
