Taking a Day Off

I hate asking my boss for a day off work. I have worked a lot of days without using a vacation day since I don't know how long. I had a few comp days that I used to go to the MD basketball game, a funeral and I forget where else I went with my other half day, but all winter I was at work. ugh!

This weekend I worked so I now have 14 hours to use (in addition to my regular vacation time), and I want to use one this Thursday. I'm going down to Va. Beach for the weekend, and I already have Friday off, and figured having Thursday off means one more day to relax, but I hate asking for more time off. I don't know why I'm always such a scaredy cat.

The guys (YB included) always just decide to take a day off and ask for it, or tell the boss they're taking it or whatever, but I always get so nervous. I never know whether I should ask or tell even though the days are rightly mine.

I already sent an email asking to take Thursday off and said I would get my projects done. I hope that works.
