Check Your Vacations!


(Click image for printable spreadsheet.)
Here is the first draft of the 2010 vacation list.

Some people made errors.
Some people got bumped out of their spots by others.
Some people ran out of time.

CHECK YOUR VACATIONS and let me know if there are any errors or needed changes!!

This is just a first draft. There may be changes later that cause you to lose days (e.g. if you are the 8th person on a particular day).
