Today is the first day of my campaign to earn enough comp time to miss 2 days worth of work and still get paid for the Thanksgiving Holiday. although preliminary estimates had pegged comp time reserves between 5.38 to 5.88 hours, the latest estimate by top military analysts holds that current comp time reserves are hovering at or around 12.33 hours. To be on the safe side, Operation: HolidayPay calls for the immediate seizure of between 2.67 and 9.62 hours of additional time. further updates as operations progress. Thanks to Sister Christian for graciously running the requisite numbers. those of you out in internet-land should keep in mind that, should I be successful, this will mean that you will find me parading around triumphantly in the greater Chicago area Sunday evening and daytime Monday after Thanksgiving.
