Missing your favorite daily newspaper reporter? Well, they could be furloughing. The Gannett Blog reports:

The site’s for workers trying to turn mandatory unpaid time off into early-summer vacations — on the cheap. The idea: match co-workers willing to swap homes for one week, free, during the required months of April, May or June.
