Thanks, Leo.

rant on:

Thing is I get so frustrated with him. He is the ONLY chief engineer at the station, but it is owned by a huge company which could easily fly someone in to fill in for him. He has two weeks coming to him every year. Since they took over, if you don't use it you lose it and they do NOT pay for any unused days. Does he take one, NO! Does he take any sick days, No! So, this year, I made him promise to take time off to work on the house NOW and he keeps saying he's working on it. He also promised to come with me to CT and maybe the Getaway if we can find cheap enough flights, etc. So, I am hoping...but, I've heard it so many times before, I am losing faith and his boss is an idjit who doesn't know how to manage her employees and managers well. They are moving to a huge new building and refitting the inside of it from the ground up. A lot of that falls on his shoulders, so I know he has a lot going on, BUT he could do better if he took a break, yes? Arrggghhh!
