In case you haven’t heard the news, I did get awarded an 11pm line for Feb 2011-Jan 2012. I am happy. Even better, although I didn’t get Christmas Eve off like I’d hoped (long-shot there!), I did get several other good days off, including:

• Valentine’s Day
• The weekend before Jenny’s birthday
• Easter weekend
• Independence Day
• My birthday
• Thanksgiving day (have to work Thursday night)
• New Year’s Eve 2011

Since we won’t have any babies on the way next year, I am free to use vacation days to get some other days off if desired, such as Mother’s or Father’s Day, New Year’s Eve 2010, or random days for races. Pretty much the only day I couldn’t get using vacation days is Christmas, but that’s OK. Overall, a very nice result.

Vacation bid starts next week.
