well, I had my end of the year assessment with my boss today. he gave me a glowing review. but he told me something that made me sad. my company let 20% of the workforce go in October. over a thousand folks. I am so blessed to survive the cuts. but they have suspended all vacation until further notice after the first of the year. I asked him about my scheduled time off for the gathering and he said it would have to be approved by his boss, our group lead. so that being said I am out for the Toledo gathering too. I hate this since me and freebird had such a large time last year. I am not sure if all the cabins are booked or not but I plan to cancel my reservation tomorrow morning. I just hate this. SLAB AND G were supposed to fish with me since I was coming alone. I am sick that I won't get to meet slab and rub elbows with him and our other guests. but I just don't feel it is smart to push this with our group lead. you guys be safe and have fun and don't wear the coop out too much.
