Frustrated...

yonkyuIt has been a frustrating few days at work to say the least. Why do you ask? All because of my boss.
I requested a few days off to have a long weekend to go to a convention with my Mom. I put in my request and it took my boss a week later to get it back to me. She hands the paper over and says "Erin, you can have Monday and Tuesday off, though I hate to deny anyone time off, can you try to change Friday to Wednesday because another co-teacher of my has the day off. I explained to my boss that I would have to look into it and let her know. A few weeks later, I went to my boss and explained that I could not change Friday to Wednesday. My boss told me, "Okay, I will see what I can do to help."
Weeks go by and I am due for a supervision (meeting) with my boss. I questioned her about my requested time off and she looks at me like I have 3 heads. It like this is the first time we talk about this. She asked me, "Why don't I have this done in my book? Did you give me a blue sheet?" I explained to her that I did and that we had talked about it on different occasions. She had to speak with her supervisor about approving the day.
SO Monday, my boss asks to speak with me before I went back into the classroom. I met with her and she explained the blue sheet I gave back to her that she had written the note under not approved, but asked about Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I looked at her and said, "We talked about this and I explained the situation and that you would help me." MY boss went on to explain how to fill out the form and explained what happens when it says something under not approved.
I was given the days off, but I felt like an idiot. I felt like I was unable to make a simple request for time off. That I should put my request time in earlier than 2 months to be approved before I make any arrangements with tickets and/or flights. So needless to say, I have been the gossip (the talk) at work. My situation was brought up with other staff members and gossiped about BY MY BOSS.
Sometimes I wonder why I get treated this way. Do I have something that states..."walk all over me...belittle me...degrade me...and so forth..." I guess I do.
Now I just hope I can enjoy my time off.
I just want to cry and hide away and never come out. :(
