My boss is basically everyone in the office as I just help everyone out- however I go to the receptionist who is mostly my boss to take days off, and I tell my two coworkers/ bosses who I work with most. The office can survive without me- I'm not overly important. I just found out from my mom (annoyingly so late) that next week is the week we are going to Canada. That is 8 days away. The receptionist/mostly my boss is away for the entire week- so she won't find out I took the week off until the day I'm already in Canada. I don't know who to talk to, what they will say, or how the receptionist will feel. please help!

  Be prepared to get your request for leave denied. Some jobs would not be ok with 1 week notice about a week-long vacation.

I don't know who to talk to, what they will say, or how the
receptionist will feel. please help!

Certainly there is someone who fills in for the receptionist when she is away. Or she must have left a phone number or email address where she can be reached.

At least she must have a boss, right?

If you don't know who fills in or how to contact her, go to the receptionist's boss, and explain your situation.
