I am SO frustrated!!!

I was at a meeting at work today when I got a call from Joe. So I slipped out of the meeting to take his call. I was talking to him when my boss came in and said, "Hey! I need to talk to him!" So I left the restroom so that she could talk to him about dates, etc. without me overhearing. Then she came out and handed the phone to me and Joe said, "That is CRAP!!!" Joe called my boss back in like February to ask off of work for me and I guess they have only okayed me to have ONE day off of work!!!! ONE day!!! Tell me, how much good does that do me?! I can understand that they might not be able to give me the full 15 days off, but I was expecting at LEAST half of it!!!! So I went and talked to Donna (my immediate boss who is ALSO a former military wife). She said that she understands how important it is and that she's doing all she can to get me more days. But it just kills me that they will okay people to take a week or so off of work for a CRUISE but when my boyfriend comes home from Afghanistan, they only want to give me a DAY! Joe said that he's going to call and talk to the head boss and speak his mind. What frustrates me is that if Joe and I were MARRIED, they would be required by LAW to give me that time off!! So I think Joe is finally realizing that I was right in saying that being married while he's deployed would DEFINATELY have its benefits. So yes.... I am just extremely frustrated right now. Please keep this situation in your prayers..... that's about all that's going to work at this point.
