I can't figure out how to do this on the website. When we used to do requests by hand, we could request a certain time we could work on a specific day. Like I have a dinner to go to on May 14th and I can only work 5pm, so I don't want them to schedule me 11-7 or something. But I can still work that day. How would I request that on the site without asking for the day off?
You will probably get farther by talking to your supervisor about it. Last time I tried to reserve a day on the internet, it was in pending status to the living end. When I spoke to my supervisor about it, he just let me off flat out.
I hate talking to my supervisor face to face so I was hoping to avoid it, but I'll give it a shot. How did you do it though, btw?
Usually talking to my supervisor face to face I try to think of a pleasant memory. That way I will be either smiling or seem to be happy. I can always save any gloom or doom or frustration I am having (such as when I have 'lot duty) for after I get off shift.
