Saturday, December 15, 2012 @ 9:32:33 PM (Alaska Time) - Added a rental car in Seattle for 12/18/12 @ 1:30 PM to 12/21/12 @ 10:00 PM which will cost me $59.67 for the four day rental from Payless. I booked it through Expedia.

Saturday, December 8, 2012 @ 7:58:32 PM (Alaska Time) - Added the days my sister and neice are coming up to interior Alaska to see the Northern Lights. They came up last year and the lights did not come out for them. My sister has seen them when she lived up here but that was before my neice was born.
Thursday, November 8, 2012 @ 3:03:09 PM (Alaska Time) - Today I got an email linking to a Winter break and soft closure page which I made a copy of. With that and the holiday information I have the following periods where I do not need to take annual leave:
Reduced business hours - Dec. 17 - 21, 2012
Christmas holiday - Dec. 24 - 25, 2012
Campus closure - Dec. 26 - 28, 2012
New Year's holiday - Dec. 31, 2012 - Jan. 1, 2013
Soft closure - Jan. 2 - 4, 2013
According to the Pay Stub Detail for the first two paychecks this year I have taken less than three days of Leave Without Pay in 2012 so far:
Dec 18, 2011-Dec 31, 2011 Pay Period - L- Leave Without Pay - 40.00 Hours
Jan 01, 2012-Jan 14, 2012 Pay Period - L- Leave Without Pay - 22.00 Hours
I arrived back in Fairbanks on Thursday according to my travel notes:
Arrive Fairbanks @ 4:38 pm Thursday, January 5, 2012
The Google calendar shows meetings on Wednesday 1/4/2012 so I may have had UAF pay me for two hours while I was in Seattle for participating in conference calls.
With this I see that I can use 7 days of Leave Without Pay all of which will be in the 2012 calendar year and be two hours short of the 10 day maximum that won't affect retirement eligibility for PERS. I will have all 10 days remaining for 2013.
