So get this, I'm currently finishing my final co-op term for my degree, and my plan has been to take a two month trip, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and hopefully have a full time gig with my co-op employer when i come back. I even figured I'd pass up a job offer if it ruled out the trip....cuz im that coo
So yesterday brought the offer letter, and I proposed my plans. I didn't tell him earlier, as that may have ensured there wouldn't be an offer letter, and I'd have nothing in my corner. Anyhow, today he tells me he's cool with and I got me a two month trip with a sweet ass job to come back to!!!
Just wanted to share my joy!
And I guess I gotta start doing some real preparation, 1 month left, buy some shit, make a budget, learn spanish...hooo boy

Cool bosses are ace!!!! : thumbup:
I work for a top insurance company, who can be very straight down the line at most times.. and almost frown if anyone had any more than the standard 2 weeks holiday.
However I approached my boss on Monday to ask him if i could have nearly 5 weeks off over xmas & new year to go on me travels. I thought i was a tad bit cheeky but at the end of the day you dont get if you dont ask! So, anyway he said yes and i'm so forever grateful. He's the best boss ever!!!

Well damn... I guess I should donate my signature pic to you O-face. Also if you need any advice on your trip, my girlfriend and I have traveled all those places and she is particularly savvy on Morocco. Lucky bastard....
