The latter was a night job, giving me days free. From 2006, I've had to burn vacation days.<BR/><BR/>The rub is that I moonlight at a sports-related job. On Thursday, I'm going to burn a vacation day to go hang out there (while getting paid, of course, boss sanctioned) and watch the games.Bokolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597135316320749668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19679634.post-80999747778237237042009-03-11T07:48:00.000-07:002009-03-11T07:48:00.000-07:00I used #2 and I have done so for the past 5 years....I used #2 and I have done so for the past 5 years.

I actually posted a similar thing over at JumpingOffsides.com last night. <BR/><BR/>I actually scheduled to have my wisdom teeth removed the Wednesday before the tourney a couple years ago.
