HA HA! I love the Snoopy Dance!! 
What do you mean? I'm getting paid for it via forced vacation days. That's fine with me, I have 29 days this year.What about the Cash flow?
That's what I'm afraid of.Please report back at the end of your time off as to how much of this really got done and how many times you got to the end of the day, wondered where it had gone, and vowed to do more of the list tomorrow.
That was the original plan actually!! We're supposed to be shutdown one week per month, except June and October. We have to take vacation days during the shutdown, but they were "nice" enough to center the weeks around a holiday if possible (Memorial Day Monday). It would total 28 days, and most people don't have that many so we would end up with unpaid towards the end. BUT!!!!!!! They just announced we're sticking with the May shutdown and again in July, but that's it then until December.Wait till they make you take all 29 days, forced. Not at the time you would like to go but at their shut down times.
