FTB is a creative genius !!

Except for the part about the Wife, isn't that the way all wives behave?

Here's too much to think about. The Statisticians Blues!

I wonder what the percentage vote will be on our next 4,8,3,3 in 2015...

Should we really be surprised by that given how a majority of our society consistently deflects blame and responsibility upon a litany of hollow excuses?
It amazes me how often celebrities, politicians, or professional athletes will blame their nefarious acts on some convoluted, diagnosed addiction requiring admittance to a rehabilitation facility.
Rarely do we see individuals "man-up" and take blame.
I have little sympathy for these people seeing as they seek help after their hands have been caught in the cookie jar.

IMO the b777 engineering and design is the only reason most of those passengers walked off alive. Survivors should be sending thank you letters to Boeing instead of lawsuit notices.

Too easy. 62%-38% +/- 2%:(

So, despite being down the call list, I'm first up to sit short call since I haven't sat any, thus virtually boosted to the top of the call list yet again. Love it!

Seniority and commuting are a choice.

Anyone know if you can slide vacation that carries out into the next bid period? I believe I read somewhere that we cannot (perhaps in the PBS bidding guide?) but I also know that there was a proposal at one of the LEC meetings to address this. Did it ever change?

Cav- I just had that situation with August and the PBS software wouldn't let me move it because it had one day in Sep bid period. I would have liked to move it back 2 days. It only slides within a bid period as long as it is wholly in that bid period. (Unless something is new for Sep :)

Thanks for the info!

What about that new thing, called Vacation Any? Will that allow you to move only the days that are in the bid month, vs. the entire week?
