It's looking like I might not get to go to 221Bcon after all. I asked for PDO for the days of the con, but the new schedule came out yesterday and I'm scheduled to work that Saturday and Sunday. And the person who makes up the schedule is like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ despite that I emailed her on Feb. 3 to point out that I was putting in for PDO on those days, and then put in my request on the self-schedule itself.

So, I can theoretically go through the schedule and try to find people willing to swap days with me, but

1. Saturdays and Sundays are the hardest to try to swap off
2. It's two separate weeks because our work week begins on Sunday, so two weeks of different people I have to ask
3. I don't have everyone's phone numbers
4. It means I'll have to work three days leading up to the con, which I had planned to have off for:
a. getting that week's classwork done
b. getting ready for con
c. resting so as to have as many spoons available for con as possible
5. Asking for favors makes me very anxious
6. There's no guarantee anyone will say yes
7. I asked for the fucking PDO so I wouldn't have to do all of the above.

So, I'm just about ready to throw up my hands about the whole thing.

Edit: I got someone to swap shifts for me for Saturday! One more day to finagle...wish me luck, please!
