So what is the best excuse you came up with to tell your boss you want time off to go to Valla.

I will start this off...
I never mentioned VW or Valla to my boss...just told him I wasn't available these certain days....Friday 30-Monday 2
Its a VW thing.... he wouldn't understand.

i said that i was having time off to spend some quality time with my wife, since we don't have holidays that fall around the same time.
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch

I have just started a new job and taking time off for Valla was a condition that I asked for before accepting the job (they wanted me way more than I wanted them !!!!!!!). Besides my boss is a VW fan, she drives a commodore but secretly wants a slammed cherry red bug

I am like mscabrio I started this new job recently and was worried I wouldn't get time off.
I still have to ask for time off in September (a wedding overseas)so I don't like my chances there.
I hate my job so if they say no....I will just quit anyway.

Who needs an excuse? I just told it how it is! There was never any question of me not getting the time off. 😀
