This is a fairly complicated question for me. If it's Fri-Sun I probably take Monday off. Otherwise I take Friday off to attend the full day.

So, either way I'm taking a day off work if I attend the full event.[1] The hard part for me is if it's an a actual day of competition I can use what's called Civic Time and not use vacation whereas if I take Monday off I can't [2]. But there's also the option of simply flexing the time across our time reporting window. Which is entirely dependent on when in the billing period the event falls.








[1] I'm in the District system so the first day is typically after work anyway.

[2] There's some fairly restrictive rules around when I can use Civic Time but I'm really glad my employer is so supportive.
