On July 2nd, my boss tells me "We need you to go on a trip to XXX for 2 weeks to setup a site and a make sure everything is running smoothly. Ohhh, You leave Monday." So I get 5 days notice that I'm going to be gone for two weeks... that leaves me 2 weeks behind on my home remodel, which outdoor projects (painting house, building deck, etc.) must be done during summer here in Alaska. Dates are July 7th - July 19th.
So, I'm ok with it. I book a room and go down. Half way through the trip, I call and tell my team lead that I'm going to take a week off when I get back to makeup for lost work time at my house. He says "Ok... we don't have anything going on so that should be ok. If I need you, I'll call you."
So I get back on the 19th and start working on my house. This week was supposed to be my leave week.... I get a call yesterday (Wednesday) and he says "Hey, so I covered your ass for taking leave this week with all the stuff going on, but you need to do this.... this... this.. We don't appreciate you giving us such little notice of you taking a whole week off."
Complete reversal from last week. So, I come in today because things are suppsoedly so busy. I talk to a coworker and she says she hasn't had anything to do in a week and hasn't even left her desk. It's dead here......
So, they send me away for two weeks and expect me to jump. I tell them I want to use my GodD$(* general leave to make up for not being home and they give me shit for it. WTF?
So, I'm thinking about talking to the site lead about this. It's a complete double standard.
What do you guys think?

Work tells me they need me to go on a 2 week business trip with only 5 days notice.
I go on the trip and half way through call my boss to tell him that I'll need to take a week off using leave to make up for work time on my house remodel. He says ok.
During my leave, I get a call from team lead that basically contridicts his own statements last week and asks why I didn't give him more than a weeks notice for using leave.
