Yeah Like i said the vacation went really well! Brought back a fiance from the island, best souvenir ever. Thank you On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 11:48 AM wrote: How nice!!! Happy for you and the fiance! I say ask JE outright in an email...keep it short and sweet...he will know what is happening and will know the date is important to you and important for you to keep once approved.

Im thinking anywhere form the 28th of this month to the end of november. Shall i ask JE directly about this one? I have no problems with sending him an email. If he's still away on the 28th might be better to just get it over with before he returns, as not to have any days where I'm requesting off when he might actually need me. I know again this is a complicated one... and its really not pressing, we can do it whenever is a good time for the boss. Francis On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 11:29 AM, wrote: Yae! So happy to hear the vacation went well! I know you were stressed and not happy when you came here that day ! (understandably so!) It is possible JE comes back next week to take part in the Window 8 EFTA_R1_00827308 EFTA02157212 Launch on Oct. 25th...he asked me to put this event in his calendar but has not said if he will attend...however he also had me tell someone he will not be back to NY until Nov. 9th (but this sort of thing happens all the time...really don't know what to believe) He must be on the island on NOv. 6th to vote in the General Election for sure... hope this sona kinda helps!

Was curious if you had any info on when JE may be arriving to NY or LSJ I know excaxt dates arc hard to pin down but any info could be useful... will it be tomorrow or a week from now or a month from now... I would like to be ready for whatever is next to come my way but it would be a waste to start getting ready tmrw if its still a week away, if that makes sense. Side note-Vacation stuff all went well and turned out great! Even after al that mess of expedia and passport stuff:) Francis Francis J. Derb Francis J. Derb EFTA_R1_00827309 EFTA02157213 Francis J.
