This one is for anyone in the know and maybe Slow knows, how come vacation is Sunday-Saturday and not say a Monday-Sunday or Friday-Thursday to provide a full weekend off? I'm sure there is a reason as there always seems to be a reason because there are too many people involved not to have a reason.

Also, next request, if on reserve you don't lose a day off for training.
Again, not complaining. Just making suggestions as they pop in my head. Spent some time on the line with someone on a rather important committee, learned a lot.
