What a bummer! It's so disappointing when stuff like that happens--feels like a complete waste of a vacation day!
I get 6 weeks of PTO a year. And working from home makes it really hard to use that time. I try to take days off but end up working for a couple of hours just 'cause its right here! DH only gets 2 weeks a year so we don't plan many vacations.

I still have 4 weeks left this year. Which would give me 10 weeks next year (it carries over). There's no way I could possibly use all that time. We are in a bit of a 'lull' right now so I'm taking a lot of afternoons off. I'm not doing much other than running errands and such. I wish I had the money to take a mini-trip--even so, I have responsibility of watching the kids so it would be difficult to go away for a few days.
