Why not get paid twice for the time? It's not like you are in danger of using up your vacation time.

Kind of what I was thinking. By the time you work to pay back your normal weekly wages and cover fuel and expenses up there you have to make considerable amount to make it worth it other then the just the fun factor.

If I used vacation time for that it would wipe the balance out. Why not save it for if I want to go somewhere in the summer?

So you are saying if you use 10 of the 82 days you lose the other 72? That doesn't make any sense.

I thought he meant *hours*, but 82 days sounds much better!

I wish this software upgrade would go faster. This is slower than Jay's internet connection.

Good morning guys.
I think I just saw a truck like that one at the court house in Buffalo and it had writing on back window like it was just at a drag race. Interesting
