Vindicated at long last

superbadgirlIt's been two full months since I applied for a different position. I was only yesterday offered second interview. TWO MONTHS, PEOPLE. Have I mentioned how job dissatisfied I am? The aforementioned nonsense is part of why. Another position was posted alongside the one I went for and not only did the person interview already - she's been doing the job a month! Different manager.
Speaking of manager, I think I have mentioned before that every year the agency gives us a day in December when we can take two hours off early (or anytime, I suppose, I just prefer to get out of there). And every year. my manager insists that we can't work six hours and then just leave. No, no, she says, that's against the law, you need to have a 30 minute break, so you can work 5.75 hours, then take .25 in vacation time if you want to leave at lunchtime. I kid you not. Every year we have tried to tell her that's now how that regulation is written. We've shown her in writing. All to no avail.
Well, yesterday I asked for my early release time on my timesheet and she asked if that meant I was leaving at 2:30 (working till 1, taking an hour lunch and then working another half hour). I said, "Probably." But then raised the issue with the new HR manager who FINALLY got through to boss about the regulation.
I want the two hours of vacation time my neurotic, weirdo boss made me take over the past eight years. Only partly kidding.
We do get to have an in person party this year. We aren't to stand too close to each other, wear masks and there will be no eating and no drinking. Woo! PARTY. ::eyeroll:: She started twitching when someone suggested that we bring food, but take it kind of to-go, so we're not on top of each other, eating.
We didn't bother pointing out that people go to restaurants all the time and are allowed to eat together.
