I tried to respond to a message you posted but it disappeared on me!  My post errored out 'cuz of that, but I learned long ago to &quot;copy/paste before submit.&quot; :)  I see you're online now so you probably changed your mind and deleted your post.  I'll post the message for all to see again if you put up a new post, but in case you wanted the information my reply follows:

The short of it is I will only be available on our normal raiding nights for three weeks between June 30 and July 21 until at least August 17 with the exception of playing it by ear some nights during my 5 week vacation.

The long version:  I'll be at work on normal raiding nights until after May 25; my days off are Sat/Sun/Mon.  I'll be out of town on vacation with family from May 26 through June 29.  Most of this time will be taken up by family activities and I won't be around Mom's computer to be able to log on very often, though I'll try on a play by play basis as often as possible.  Starting on June 30 I'll be on night shift but my days off will be switching to Wed/Thr/Fri until July 21, at which time I'll return to my current non raid friendly schedule with Sat/Sun/Mon off until August 17.  They have not posted anything after August 17.

I can't make predictions on the last minute schedule changes they have become so fond of at work.  Apparently 48 hours per week isn't enough for them - they have greater things in mind such as 60 and 72 hour work weeks.  I am considering telling them to take a hike near the end of the year or the beginning of next year, should I be able to hold out even that long.

Anyway, I'm not very happy about missing out on so much guild time - that's the only thing which has been keeping my interest in the game in the past few months.  I'd love to run ZA anytime I can, and I've even still been enjoying Kara - I don't have much experience with the last few bosses.  What I want to do and what I'm ALLOWED to do just aren't meshing very well lately.  In addition to being upset to miss out on some good times I also feel like I'm letting the guild down.  Sadly, there's not a lot I can do about it for now.  I'm sorry. :(
