Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Background: Alyssa and I have been friends for 10 years. We don’t see or talk often but naturally she wanted me to be a party of her special day as a bridesmaid. 

Disclaimer: I am also in 2 other weddings between June 1 and July 29. One of which, I am the maid of honor. 

I work a very demanding job, my schedule is very rigid/stringent and all my friends are aware of the demands of my job. In my opinion, I do a damn good job at attempting to balance this with my social life. I work every other weekend, holidays are assigned. We are limited to the number of weekends we can take off. 

That being said......

Alyssa asked when a good weekend for a bachelorette party would be. I told her I am free the last weekend of April or the first weekend of May. I had already request off the first two weekends off to go on a vacation prior to any of this bachelorette talk — this is why the last wknd of April or first weekend of May would work for me. Great! We proceeded with the plannings. 

Life happens and they had to change the bachelorette party to the third weekend. The reason is bc of the place they rented was avail on the third weekend, not the other weekends. No problem! Issue is, I will be scheduled to work that weekend. I made that very clear. Certainly not upset the weekend had to change but I just wanted to be clear that then it would be out of my hands to make it. I however did thoroughly explain the process of my work schedule, sent photos of the guidelines of how my scheduling works, and did my best to convey that once my schedule came out, I would try to find someone to cover me in whatever capacity I could. It’s not a matter of someone just covering me. It has to do with roles, etc. 

They continued on in planning. No problem. 

My work schedule was released yesterday for the bachelorette weekend. As expected, I’m scheduled to work. Seeing as the bach party is an hour and a half away, I did my best to pull some strings and get Saturday off. A full day of events out of two full day of events.

I can’t help but feel really heated right now. I almost just want to not even try to swindle the Friday off (it would be a 3 way switch so I’m asking 2 people to accommodate a switch) completely revoke my being available on Saturday and not go at all. My friends are saying they’re surprised I’m even trying to go one full day. 

AITA?!
