You might get your chance Monday. Rain on Sunday will wash away the salt for the warm Monday. But lots of time for forecast to change by then. Looking good now.

Unfortunately I'm stuck working next Monday. Second most senior guy in the building and somehow all the junior guys arranged all their single vacation days and personal days to take this Monday and Friday off, as well as the few days next week, so instead of getting the full 2 weeks off uninterrupted as I'd planned, I'm stuck working a bunch of them.
Oh well. Next year apparently I need to do the same for the Monday and Tuesday.

Is this your first rodeo?
Lol, nope, my 23rd rodeo at this company, but if you look up “Murphys Law” in the dictionary there’s a picture of me as part of the entry.
I started to not really have to worry about this stuff about five years ago when I reached virtually the top of the seniority list and had all of these skeleton-crew days off voluntarily, however a bit of a weird sequence of events and some changes within the company has resulted in this happening both last year and this year where guys are being very creative with their day off allotments to get out of being voluntold they were working.
So next year I will be sure to save a couple of personal days to book for the days either side of Chrismas, and of course after doing that (and not having used them for Motorcycle days in the summer instead as I often do), I fully expect that things will go back to the way they used to operate and those days will end up being wasted as I wouldn’t have needed to take them to get the days off to begin with, but again, Murphy’s Law lol
