Morning Greg, Marcus...

Nope, I'm off today. Not even sure why. I would think just having yesterday off would cover it. Not that I'm complaining. But I'll be sticking close to home anyway. It's -8 with wind chills at -17. I'm taking Friday off too. I have a day to use up that won't roll over.

It is that frigid in my bedroom.

We cannot roll over vacation or Personal Choice Holidays either unless there is an emergency prevents us from using them up

Morning, morning Woods. Merry post-Christmas! Mick, please pass along our condolences to Sherri for her friend, terrible time to lose someone. Out for the morning dog walk.

Morning Woodmeisters, I'm off today as well. Possible car shopping with another son I have, my stepson. I love the car shopping and dancing with the car salesfolks.
No wait .....errrr, I mean the negotiations.
Sorry to hear of Sherri's friend Mick.

Morning Russ, Larry and Stan. Russ, I was envious of your day yesterday. That looked like a great way to spend it.

Marcus - We are allowed to roll one week over. I had 47.5 hours so I took Friday off so as not to lose it. Others, like my boss and her boss had two weeks to burn, which they took. I can tell you this, the end of the year is the absolute WORST time to take off. We're all scrambling to accommodate client deadlines.
