well.... PTO approved.
called my sup told him that it was either i get the three weeks as requested or my alternate offer would be: no expiration on my PTO, lost PTO from last year reinstated, requests approved same day as submitted from now on and we need to finally hire me help no later than 6/1
i got to the all requests approved part when he gave in and agreed that i can just take my time now. BUT he was hoping to wait until next week to finalize it because he needs to check with so and so whos on vacation this week and he doesn't want to bother him while hes out but it fine to ask if I'm willing to be on call during my vacation and work when they need me

 

Only if I can be prom queen

 

Ran Chebby through the car wash. Still a lot of winter crud residue left behind. Hand washed in the driveway with buckets of water because my landlord keeps the outside water turned off til mid June.
Time to wax and polish the chrome. So much chrome.

 

4 hours later...So fresh and so clean!

And it took 4 passes with the chrome polish but I finally got the streaks off of the rear bumper
Before

And after

 

I've thought about it. Especially since he spends all his time outside, I know the sun and weather take a toll on the paint.
I did the car wash today - power washer wand and broom/brush. Then home and washed by hand with sponges. As I was waxing I noticed that the wax was sticking to little flecks of something sprayed all down the drivers side doors. I ran my fingernails over the area and picked up something black. Not sure if its road tar or what. As soon as my landlord turns on our outside water I think Chebby is going to get a wash with bug and tar remover over EVERYTHING and then a clay bar. Might look into the ceramic coating at that point.
