I gave my boss the Astrofest dates about a month ago and told him I'd be taking time off - probably 4 days or so, not the full week as it's all unpaid leave and I can't afford to drop a weeks pay AND buy lots of raffle tickets / astro goodies while there!
Rob I know you'll miss the family this time around but we'll all have a great time there.
Look forward to catching up with the rest of you too whom I only get to meet at Astrofest.
Cheers!
