ZenKitty, I'm so mad you're working through your vacation. You need to not count it as time off.
I'm mad too! I worked 12 hour days for two solid weeks including weekends to prepare for *no one doing my job for two weeks* and then last week my manager handed me a stack of work for another journal that had to be done in two weeks, and there was no way to finish it all before the vacation had to start.
I have to
officially
take it as time off, because I can't carry those days over. But you betcha I'm keeping count of the vacation days that I've had to work. Next year I will be taking that many days off and not reporting them. I consider them stolen, and I'm gonna steal them back.
tommy! Your geek cred!

Working at home means I'm home for the telemarketer call. Woo. Hoo.

of our PTO days carry over, which is a bitch when you barely have a slowdown period all year. Feh.
