Did you go to the rally on SATURDAY the 19th? When we had that rally... people were saying "but it is a weekend... nobody will be there" and now that we are having one during the week people are saying "but it is a work day... don't people know we work?" People have been given options now... but my guess is the excuses will continue to flow.

I was at the one on Sat the 19th and I'll be at the one tomorrow on Friday. I had to talk it over with the boss, but he is flexible... I'll work a few more hours today and a few hours over the weekend to make up for the few hours I miss tomorrow. If I couldn't do that, I could always just take a half a day of PTO. I know PTO is precious and people don't want to "waste" it... but I find the cause important enough to use a half a day of vacay if I have to.
