    Maybe/hopefully. Assuming I don't take any vacation days, I'd be in buttass late Friday, and leave Sunday morning.

    TIL that comp time is a possibility with prior approval. Hmm.

    It's looking more like a light "no" so far for me as I'm at an animation conference the week prior. Time and monies may not be available...:(

    He almost opened it, before I pointed out that it said "Open at ICOK." You're welcome, mystery sender.

    @Requit WANT.

    DTW is the only airport option. There is always floor space. Generally we can do better than that.

    Unfortunately, I'm out. Shutdown is eating my leave and my conference next week is going to put me on leave without pay for a couple days. Bummed, maybe new years or sooner?
    Lame...

    Our company is literally requiring people to take leave up to a negative balance of 80 hours before taking leave without pay (without prior approval otherwise, unless I read the email wrong), because they can't work. I wanna say it was 15% of normal revenue right now (certain government agencies aren't funded by taxpayer money or are "essential" and therefore continue funding. If I continue, it'll get real political, real fast :)

    My brother in law is the same way. He is not furloughed, but if he takes a sick day, vacation day, or whatever, he will become furloughed. As long as you don't miss a day of work you are still working.

    I'm also out. No vacation time accrued yet, and the 12 hours of driving just wouldn't give me enough time to enjoy (or recover from) the weekend. :(
