Vacations are important. So is timing. Everyone scattering shortly after a big change that could potentially introduce unforeseen circumstances, all while knowing in advance I won't know which button to push in the event of a button needing pushing, well; are you sure about this?

Yes, it's not everyone that will be gone, just some. But I want to have several days after HF where everyone is here, just as a precaution.

Had a feeling that part wouldn't be overlooked. I made that mistake once in my life. Never again. Once was enough. And the summer from hell will never be forgotten.
