So I have like 10 weeks earned as of my latest date. Denied a holiday to fish with friends on the CR next week as I was to voluteer at my local school's outdoor camp.

I'm a veteran and plan to outlast the current bass turds. Have stepped down to semi retired, yet still get denied 'cause there are only so many hours. Well, so many requests for holiday time earned...

I've seen this business from from a family owned level to the now Kroperate level. Have seen more than a few "Managers" come and go.

Wal Mart across the street donated $50 to help with the Kid's fishing. Verle's, the local sporting goods store, kicked in above and beyond with hooks, swivels, weights, and even donated night crawlers. My employer donated nothing.
I had to ask a fellow shiftworker to switch with me to get the school time.

I'm sure I'll get some vacation time soon. But, would like to share the good times with my Uncles who took me fishing back in the day, along with my Grandpa.
RIP Grandpa Frank, survived Europe to come back home to teach me...

Denied... for fishing.
