Vacation Time? Wait, What?

[ase]

At the rate I'm going, I'll accrue 80 hours of rollover vacation time and another 25 or 30 of use-or-lose, but I have no money. So says my boss. What should I do with no travel budget and the (minimum) three days I absolutely, positively must take off before December 31st?

(This is the year I make myself a little miserable with penny-pinching, so next year I can have guilt-free toys like a dSLR and a car. A cheap car. Maybe a zipcar membership.)

Off to bike and contemplate the cons and further cons of running away to Nag's Head for a week. Yay, exercise!

I could take a half day for book brigade duty, depending on my work load; 2 of three people in my work group already have that Friday off. We get the day after Thanksgiving as a company holiday. Strolling in at noon a couple of times would be fun. I know what the inside of my apartment looks like quite well, so getting out is more of a priority than staying in on this round.

Book brigade help would be appreciated.

I believe that cathydalek and makotohanabi are going to be in the Twinbrook area that Thursday afternoon as well, beating the traffic...

With multiple people taking vacation around that time, it's unlikely I'll get more than one afternoon off that week. I'd rather use the time to do something new, or that I haven't done in a while.
