Why not just use radio instead?
Nice theory, although if the couple of "atomic" clocks I have around the house are any indicator, it's not a great plan. They only can pick up the radio signal at night (something to do with the ionosphere IIRC), and this in my house with windows in every room. In a hospital? Good luck...
Yes, until I can figure out how to get it to stop ringing the bell when it starts and sending ^? instead of ^H for backspace, I'm still using screen.
Arrrrr!! Write "you're" next time, or face a keelhaulin', ye scurvy dog!
A grammar pirate? Well, that's a new one...
Programmers belong in cubicles, criminals belong in jail.
You say that like there's a functional difference.

Communicating the importance and reason for the time off is as important as the date of your time off.
I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with you. At least in my opinion, the reason you want to take off is not really any of their business. Giving that information to someone with the wrong mindset can lead to them judging your reason isn't that important in their view. Vacation is an earned benefit, so it really should only matter if you think it is important.
(That said, in any good environment, you should be able to tell them of your plans. It just shouldn't be required.)
Were you this guy?
The parent said "commuter train", so I'd assume he meant the VRE. As for the Metro... yeah...
three or four cars? embellish much?
Not if the parent drives in metro DC...
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. You wouldn't happen to have an MSI would you?
Funny, I just went looking for such a beast, being sick of fighting with their usual installer...
I can't stand the new plastic playground equipment. Back in the day, it was all metal, wood, and tires.
Well, getting rid of the metal slides isn't so bad... I hated when the thing had been baking in the sun all day and was too hot to slide down in shorts without burning myself.
Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.
