Today I talked with my TA. She mentioned the department would be very angry if I didn't teach class. I told her I'd be willing to reschedule class.
I hate to put her in this position.
Will the department fire me? Unlikely.
In the end, the department caved and I am free to go. I dislike throwing my weight around, I dislike fighting with the department. In this, though, it's not even their call- it's the administration of the college.
Part of me wonders if they did this so late to keep bird flu from spreading or something in case bird flu was spread by people- they announced it in time to interrupt everyone's travel plans back home.
In the end, I'm allowed to leave on Sunday for vacation. Yay me.
