Ok, so I'm kicking around the idea of packing up and coming to the roundup. The problem is that I don't have enough vacation days to cover the time off I'll need. I figure 2 days to drive there (from Albuquerque, New Mexico) , 3 days for the event, and 2 days home. Thats 7 days, but I'm off for 2 of them anyway. That leaves 5 days of vacation I'd need to take. I don't have ANY vacation days until the 1st of October.
SO- Do I bite the bullet and take 5 unpaid days off, requiring the wife and I to eat macaroni and cheese for a month, OR- Do I skip it (again) this year, and plan better for next year?
I've never run the con, and would really like to put some names and faces together.
Help me out here guys....
