Bugger!
Bit of a hiccough the other day. Got an e-mail from Dick saying that when he approached his boss regarding time off his boss told him that Ditch Witch have a zero tolerance policy on ‘unexplained absence’, no show -- no job.
So I rang him again. Susie is losing her job shortly, they’ve got a young baby, so we don’t want to see Dick out of work too.
He had mentioned the other day that when he was talking to his sister about the trip she had said “Tell him I’m a better driver than you are!” so I asked him if she was serious.
It appears she was.
Right; does she have the time, and will she do it?
It appears she has and she will.
Sweet.
So after an hiatus of a day or three we’ve got a change of driver.
All good again.

So I can get back to planning, thought it might have to be delayed.

Dick's answer should have been, "It won't be 'unexplained absence' boss, it will be scheduled vacation and I've got 46 days on the books!" Now that said, his boss sent him a clear message that he didn't want him to be gone that long, and that he needed to make a choice.

I'm glad it worked out for you with the sister.
