Storm area 51 on September 20th!....... You might want to get somebody he trusts to help him realize the whole thing is a joke. Or tell him you need the time off to storm yourself.

I think the boss thinks that he wants the days off to storm Area 51 and that's why he said no.

That's why I make it a rule to say "I will be unavailable x dates" and tell them ahead of time. Don't make it sound like there's any chance that you will come in or be able to come in during that time. Finding someone to switch is good too so you're covered.

Sounds like that’s what OP did. Bosses still have the right to say no, you can’t be gone those dates, take your vacation some other time.

Some jobs, it doesn’t matter. In news, you could be called in from your vacation if it was a big enough story. Even funerals aren’t safe. You know this when you sign up. You just hope it doesn’t happen during your time off.

Don't know about the United States where OP is but in Australia the Boss does NOT have a right to say no unless they have a legitimate reason and the boss going to an Area 51 Raid or not believing OP has a wedding to attend is not a legitimate reason. In fact you don't even have to tell the boss why your taking time off.

Call off. And Area 51 invasion is a bunch of idiots who want to invade on September 20

...you do know it's a joke right?

Well if there's actually going to be an area 51 invasion that day, you might be thankful...😮

Tell him why you want those days off?

It’s the autumnal equinox. Heavy shit goes down then, beware!

Its a bunch of people joking that they are gonna storm Area 51. personally I think some fucktard will actually try it and get their dumbass shot...I hope I get to see the video.

you seripusly need to look at some memes

Ask him again, but this time show him the wedding invitation as proof.

Does he want to go, and take you with him, have you cover while he's gone, or is he trying to make you go in his stead? Whatever it is, tell him to fuck himself, and go to the wedding.
