My head is so muddled I started doubting I actually have today off. So I called my boss.

I do have it off. Tomorrow is available to take off so I took it (so I can finish my Christmas stuff). Hopefully I'll feel well enough by Wednesday to go to work.

But the big news is I was approved for CWS (compressed work schedule). I've been complaining for a couple of years that it's become nearly impossible to get Fridays or Mondays off as vacation days because so many people have been approved for CWS with Mondays or Fridays off. I like to take a 3 day weekend once a month, just to break things up. I requested 5 Fridays off in the first six months of 2015. I was approved for 1. Very frustrating.

But starting next month I'll have every other Friday off! I'll work 9 hours Mon-Thurs, 8 hours the first Fri with the 2nd Fri off. There are still a couple of factors that could cause me to turn this down (I might be shifted to another team, for example) but it's likely that I'll accept it. I'll know more Wednesday.
