I should have clarified that.  The 2 bosses in question recognized that 
this was time well spent and did not count it towards vacation.  This
was work, or training, or such.

BTW, these were people that had been techies in former lives.  They 
were rare technicians that actually became good managers.  They 
recognized the value of free (for the company) training.  They also 
new from interviews that I value SHARE very much and probably 
would not stay at the job long if I couldn't regularly attend.
