However, I would like everyone to be of good cheer, so:

I'm sure I mentioned my cat and the baby chicken here before.  Once I brought home a baby chicken.  I pulled it out of the paper sack, cupped it in my hands and held it down and said "look Rae, I got a baby chicken" at which she instantaneously slapped the shit out of it and broke it's neck.  where you work Nabu, is a cat slapping a baby chicken.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

Wombat, saying he needs to find someone to cover for you isn't a criticism against you asking for time off, it's just a fact (whether or not you agree with it, it's a fact for him). Is he going to be annoyed having to find someone to cover for you? Probably. But let that be his problem. That's why he's the boss--because he has to deal with that shit. If he didn't want to let you have the time off, he'd have said no. If he's going to can you for taking a weekend off (and not can you in the nice way, like we do here), then at least you can collect unemployment, most likely.

I would wait to give notice if I were you. And I wouldn't worry too much about taking the time off and your boss's reaction to it.

omba, my gut instinct is to let my id roam free, and to say, "FUCK Y'ALL!" and just leave, giving no notice.
 

Mine too - so my decision seems much more rational in comparison, which is that I am going to go into work this morning and write an email of resignation and say I will stay till the end of the month.And once I made this decision the headache I have had for a week went away.  I am going to do it. Let the chickens and kitties fall where they may.

You know Muse you may be right that I should wait but I am tired of making these calculations. I am nearly ready to get out of this field anyway so the possibility of later less than glowing references doesn't loom that large.

I checked my email and he said he couldn't do anything about it till Monday so if I send a letter of resignation now at least it doesn't look like I left in a snit if he doesn't give me the time off.
