Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

We get 10 sick days per year and vacation is accrued. We get up to 10 days vacation but you have to earn it first. I get 6.25 hours of vacation per month, if you want it broken down.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Wow. We get 5 sick days, 2 personal days. Start out with 10 vacation days. Move up to 15 after 5 years. Move up to 20 days after 7 years.

We have a pro-rated short & long term disability based on how long you've been with the company.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So sorry about Kuma and Bear, Kat. It's no fun to live in a war zone. A dog run sounds like a great idea.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I think I've got 17 days of PTO, to be used either for sick or vacation time. If I'm sick I need to find someone to cover for me, though, so usually I just have to work through it. So I'm planning to use the bulk for vacation.

hip deep in pie

Sue, I saw a woman wearing leg warmers yesterday (with FLIP FLOPS) and thought of you!

Did you smite her?

Yeah, but you live in - wait for it - Soviet Canuckistan.

Yeah. I also work for the Gubbermint and am unionized, so it's probably a more generous plans than most. (But still not as good as working for the Feds.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

10 days sick leave, which is pretty standard

Wow. We get 5 sick days, 2 personal days. Start out with 10 vacation days.

Huh. We get 20 days (160 hours) of PTO, and move up to 25 after 5 yrs., and 30 days after 10.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Re OC: I'd like to think that legal privilege was more important than spousal. I do not want my lawyer talking about my case at home with her husband. I know it's naive, but it doesn't seem fair. Would that husband be prevented from ratting me out? However, as it applies to the OC, it's a damned good idea to not get the personal and the work mixed up. Mr. Cohen needed to tell Mrs. Cohen. Rebecca's lawyer needed to keep his mouth shut.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So Jason Giambi made a heartfelt apology to Yankee fans the other day. Except that he never actually mentioned what he was apologizing for.

Coding and Sleeping

We get 10 personal days (sick leave, but it's really more like personal days) and go from 10 to 15/3yrs to 20/7yrs days of vacation. Right now I'm on 15 days of vacation which is really cool.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

ita, yes. I think that's true also. Too bad Sandy has a history of mixing the personal with his business. As in always does it. Granted it brought Ryan to the show, but as his only business = lame.

Well not lame, so much as ill advised.
