    Exclamation

    In twenty minutes I go on vacation for 2 weeks. What are the chances that the next two weeks will go by as fast as the last 20 minutes have?

    Twenty minutes? You should be at the Airport.

    Are you writing from a laptop computer?? Or do you just live near the airport?

    You can travel exceeding speed of light and you will arrive just in time, even if you start now.

    In which case, getting up two hours before you go to sleep won't matter, providing you live in a shoe box in the middle of the highway.

    Cool Vacation

    Not as well as I could of.

    You see...

    My annual date was mid May. That means in mid May I get a whole bunch more vacation which simply means...I could of taken then entire month off. I elected not to do that this year but threatened for next year...


    Like I said...We'll see.

    Instead of taking days off, use your sickdays

    That might work except at this company when you call in sick it takes away from your vacation days. Sure they tap on a few extra personal days but wouldn't it suck if you got sick and had to cancel your upcoming vacation? Luckily it hasn't happened to me yet. That's one reason why I hoard all my days until the last dern minute. The other reason is my "use by" date is mid May which is early Spring. Who wants to vacation in winter and who wants to use up all their vacation in summer and have to survive all Winter without any days to use?
