Got an e-mail today from our production manager, asking folks with vacations scheduled in June to "cancel it, reschedule it, or reduce it to a half day." I'm starting to wonder if I'm the one with a warped view of reality, because this just seems way over the top. The ironic thing, though, is despite the fact that I would be inclined to respond to the request with a big raspberry, I did cancel the vacation day I had scheduled yesterday. But that was because Poodlepums' recital was cancelled and I thought our department was going to be short handed. Ah, well.
