He wouldn't even let you take them w/out pay? Wow. I would have just said "By the way, I have had the planned for a long time now, and I know I have no sick days left, but I'm taking the days off w/out pay." (and maybe tack on, "Remember I emailed you about this months ago?") I definitely would have emailed him back when you planned it to let him know of your plans then. Was there any other superior above him that you could have talked to??

I could pop into D-town after work and send you some baklava if it'd make you feel better.

That sucks your boss did that. Just remember "Karmas a..." well you know the rest.

Almost forces you to keep plans to yourself from now on and call in sick the day you leave. I probably would have just said you neede the break and taking these days without pay to destress before you couldn't do your job right anymore.
