My uncle's funeral is Wednesday, in Tulsa, about a 7-8 hour drive from here. My
Aunt has asked me to go, and I'm not about to refuse her - she's the only family
member I'm close to and I'd do anything for her. We're leaving early Tuesday
morning and will get back late Wednesday.
I expect a LOT of trouble at work for taking this time. But my family is
important to me. When my Dad died, my uncle, at 78 years old, drove all the way
here from Tulsa to be there for us. He was a good man and he deserves my
respects. No one else from my immediately family is going.
Madame X might surprise me, but I kind of doubt it. Nonetheless, I will not
relent. If she tries to argue this, as she usually done with every single little
thing, how do I slap her down hard enough to get it to stop completely?

If your requesting and taking the leave is in accordance with all
company policies, then you should be in the clear. If it isn't, then
you may be up against trouble if Madame wants to make some.

two weeks vacation leave for the year. And Madame X isn't my boss - she's Sales
and Marketing, and I'm the Production Manager. The owner is the boss, but you
wouldn't think so if you ever listened to her. She has no real reason to object
except that she might have to ship out a bottle or two while I'm gone, and that
would be work, which she's allergic to.
She *will* object, though. Her control issues blast right through into mental
illness - even the tiniest thing means a half-hour argument even when it's
obvious she hasn't a clue what she's talking about. She will act as if my
Uncle's dying is a personal insult to her, etc. It's the most bizarre and sick
thing I've ever experienced. Oh, I could tell you stories that would curl your
hair.
If anyone would like more details on the actual business, I can be reached at
m-e-g-a-e-r-a (without the dashes) two years ago (the number) @ (google's mail)

There's FMLA, but it only applies to immediate family members.
No matter. I ran into the *real* boss first thing this morning and got his ok.
At that point she didn't have any choice.

I think it helped that we were there. Of course we didn't get back until almost
midnight, so it's going to be a LONG day today.
She wants us to put padlocks on all the 300-gallon storage cone bottoms because
