Stop in for a cup of coffee

So just got the email, it’s official. Carlisle is out for me, at least as I originally planned.
Short versions, my team consists of two people right now, myself and another. The other guy had medical episode involving his kidneys, so he’s out the next 8-12 weeks. Work revoked my pre-approved vacation time as we have a project due the following Wednesday and with this gentleman being out now.

I’m exploring the option of flying out Friday afternoon and renting a car and hanging out all day Saturday, then driving said rental back home.

Wow, that kinda sucks. Know you're not asking but if it was me I'd go cause sounds like it might be a bit of a grind till your co-worker heals up.
