Gregg,

     I can sympathize with the follow-up complaints.  On the other hand,
people with jobs can't just up and head to Morristown when the Seeing Eye
or they think is best, employers and coworkers have to be consulted and
considered.  That's the way I see it.  Think of it this way.  Some of one's
coworkers are likely to be married.  If both work, it takes coordination to
get vacation times synchronized.  Sometimes these plans get made months in
advance.  If I have to replace my dog, I have to take these other people's
schedules into accdount, if I work with them and want to continue doing so
in a reasonably harmonious manner.  The Seeing Eye has to be the one to be
more flexible here.  Obviously, all employment isn't in situations where
these concerns factor in.  Anyhow, that's my best rationale and I can't see
any flaws in it.
