how do I word-smith
I might edit thusly:
This causes a considerable hardship
particularly in light of the short notice and I would appreciate any effort you can make to remain for your entire shift. When do you plan to make up the time?

what are the odds that I'll have any kind of power source on my Southwest flight next week? Slim to none?

So, somebody who's flown more recently than me (ie almost anyone) - what are the odds that I'll have any kind of power source on my Southwest flight next week? Slim to none?
Actually, Southwest is promoting being very business friendly. At Love Field (Dallas Airport) they have little bars with plugs on the opposite side. They might have that or similar at all their gates.
ETA: Flew in the middle of last month to NO and back.

But the actual 6-ish hours of flight time will have to be low-tech given both my laptop and my portable DVD player's lame battery lives?

My Boss just asked me to call her a car home (as opposed to to the train) and walked out of here saying "suddenly I don't feel very well". And she's real real pale.
I will bet you five bucks she just came down with the bug that I (and a good chunk of the office) have been fighting.
Now, naturally I would not wish illness on anyone because that's just mean.
But if she is starting what I'm finishing I might giggle just the tiniest amount.

Admit it Trudy, you've been farting around her office haven't you.

I'm VERY tempted, but as my camera croaked in December and my cellphone plan MUST be upgraded (no long distance or roaming on current plan) before the trip, another electronics purchase just before a vacation feels like, perhaps, poor budget control.
But I am verrry tempted...
edited to clarify that I am in no way connected to any flatulence, alleged or otherwise...

Really? Because I so would. And did.
You're welcome.
