If it is for February then Set Condition > Vacation Slide....Choose the Vacation you want to slide (in case you have two in one month, it can happen when you get really old like me) ..... then choose the number of days you want to slide the vacation. If your vacation starts on the 8th choosing -4 makes it start on the 4th. Choosing +4 makes it start on the 12th. You can also select a range of days and it will try to use the furthest out slide first and then work back through the range. You can also use the "Else Start Next" to try various slide strategies with different bid groups.
It's for August. I just want to move it up one week to the week prior to kids starting school. I put in a vacation move up, but I don't expect that to go through. Next option will be to try and slide vacation ahead 6 days to start on a Monday. I am not sure how good of a chance I have of this going through. It would be nice to know as I actually plan on going on a non-refundable vacation this year...for once.

True, but let's not lose sight of what this place is. It's just a giant conversation furball, just like you would have in a crew lounge. Think about the personalities involved, all "Type A's", but all a little gossipy too, so maybe more like a bunch of really assertive teenage girls in a hallway at school.

You just know it's going to take a while for truth, or just reason, to seep into the conversation. Aftera bunch of drama, a few good points will be made. Some of the main actors will stand their ground, but some of the quieter ones will get something out of it, and go with that. Many won't be caught dead admitting they were struck by reason, some will, and eventually a more reasonable consenus will emerge. That's the nature of it.

(I'm sure ftb has a picture to illustrate this)

If you want to get to the heart of an issue, any issue, find the page where it pops up, go forward about three pages, and start working your way back until you see someone making sense. That's the meat of the discussion. Be particularly attentive when you look for it, because it's short-lived. Usually, the reasonable or logical point kills the discussion, which moves on to something even more "drama".

You just can't slide into days that you would be unstacked. I remember there being unstacked days last year during the first week of August.

I want to be the guy who plays Turk in Scrubs. He's not too bright, but he's gt a hot girlfirend.

ACL used to be the blond, but now I think he's a teacher.
