is there not a way to ask to be excused?


I near always get nabbed in Sept/Oct which are the two months of the year that I tolerate the other 10 for. I go in, see the clerk, complement her on her blouse or hair, she asks what I really want, and then I ask if I can be shifted to a midwinter block. Works every time.

I've also been excused for a week or 10 days to take Scouts on float trips, and help a friend with a pronghorn hunt. It helps that the clerks are from outdoor oriented families too.
