Things could be worse

I have approximately 480 hours of comp time, and 39 days of vacation, all to use before the end of the year.

So it looks like I'll be working 3 day weeks for about the rest of 2009.

I don't really view this as a good thing. I have work that I need to do.

I'd rather just be paid for my comp time. Comp time is hours I've worked extra that I have to be paid back for.

Not to mention that I'm worried about being bored.

Keep writing and hanging in there!

With my Holiday/Vacation/ Reg. Comp time, I've got about 928 hours and too short staffing to be able to take it when I want. It's great having it for use under the FMLA/ medical reasons for my wife, but it'd be nice to have a vacation once in a blue water.

My heart farking bleeds for you!!!! It must be tough living in paradise and being bored :)
I like jk's ideas....get busy!!! Take a 2nd job and do that on your days off from your main job....put all the money away and then quit both jobs, get a yatcht and sail around the world!!
