Dear bosses:

When I ask you for 11 days off 6 months in advance it's so you can schedule coverage. Not so you can tell me well we don't know what's going on yet so don't do anything that is non-refundable.

I hate "we don't know what's going on yet".* That means nothing is going on so let me have the time off.

*I hate it when it comes to work, I hate it when it comes to plans. At work it means "well we're not sure, something might be going on, but it might not be, so we don't want to commit anything to you". In plans it means "I want to wait to see if something better comes along".
