Yes!! It has been approved officiallY!!!!!! FINALLY!! As of 1pm Eastern I will be on my way to Illinois. Finally. Boss signed off on leave yesterday-but I had to cover for secretary upstairs while she was out sick and the other secretary was on leave and the 3rd one had a physical therapy session and had to leave earl- interesting day. And no, he didn't send me an email to let me know, even though I had asked about it. I am tired of games!!!!!! He is retiring and I know he did this on purpose. He saw me get the mail out of the box and he had the envelope in the box with the approvals-he was talking to another branch chief and got a twinkle in his eye. I have learned to walk in and check that box unless his door is closed. Well, got lots to do-he really loaded up the box yesterday afternoon.
