There's good news and there's bad news

The good news is: Sequestration hasn't taken my job.
The bad news is: my company is hunkering down regardless and, as part of cost cutting, denying any more advances on time off.
The good news is, this decision was made *after* I went to Gally on leave I didn't have.
The bad news is, I had a ticket for the APL bus trip to the Philly Flower Show (theme: England's Gardens) next Friday, but I don't have enough leave because I'm "paying off" Gally's time.
The good news is, that's always a sold-out trip, so I can very likely get a full refund selling my ticket on.
Also good news is that the flower show starts tomorrow and Philly's only 2.5 hours drive from here. There's nothing saying I can't take the trip; it's just that I can't take the leave. I'm thinking of driving up at the crack of dawn on Sunday, buying a ticket at the door when it opens, and seeing the show while all the good people are either sleeping or in church.
(The bad news is, it means inner-city driving and that by the time I get home, all I'll be fit for is flopping on the couch like a dead flounder, which is exactly what I'll feel like.)
And finally, unless something really horrible happens to me/cats/car, I have no planned time off between now and 221BCon, so by the time it rolls around I'll have banked enough leave to not worry about the new restriction.
So, yay?
