Third time never fails I put in for a vacation 3 times. The first time I was denied on the spot, the second time, the paperwork didn't get to the person that does the scheduling in time, the third time, I walked it to her to make sure that I got my vacation..If you don't take it you lose it..I've gotten a lot done too. During one of the snowstorms this past winter, a few branches from the pine trees in the back yard fell, well now I have three piles of branches I just took a hand saw and cut those branches down to size..Now I have to get them hauled off. My Dad said that he could come get the branches on Tuesday..I plan to help him load it in the truck. I raked the front yard and plan to straighten out the inside of the house...Fair warning to my 2 sons....Watch out I'll be breathing fire....
