It is resolved

I know you were waiting on pins and needles to find out the fate of our family vacation. ;-) Just kidding, I know my life isn't that exciting, and you aren't that bored either.

So, boss approved my time off. I am very happy he did, so is Jonathan. I even told the boss thank you after having avoided him since the fiasco on Tuesday, having only spoken to him when absolutely necessary. The fact still remains, however, there is a disturbing trend of favorites and double standards here. I don't think that it has to do with "male camaraderie" and female discrimination. I'm not a feminist, I don't even consider those things and I view myself as an equal to all my co-workers (I'm not naive, I see how contractors consider me and I hear them ask the exact question to one of my male co-workers - so, I know it happens.) Simply that there are obvious favorites here and everyone sees it except the parties involved. Sadly, it will probably never change.
