So Jason Giambi made a heartfelt apology to Yankee fans the other day. Except that he never actually mentioned what he was apologizing for.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

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

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.

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.

My corporate employers do accrued 10 days sick/10 days vacation for the first four years, then you go up to 15 days (maybe on both, maybe just vacation.) I think at 14 you go up to 20 and that's it.
But my noncorporate coworkers start out accruing 25 days vacation a year. And 25 sick days.

We get 10, and only 10, accrued sick/personal/holiday days. However, we also get a total of 4 months off a year.

At my mom's school district, they have similar minimal PTO days. But, they do rollover and they also have a leave bank where people can donate time off for people to use for severe illness. I don't know whether mom used it when she was out for a month with pneumonia.

I've worked here since 1988 and currently have 881 hours of sick leave accrued. Why don't I take more attitude adjustment days off? I are a loser.

Ann, that's a ferret.
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.)
U.S. fed --
Sick leave -- 4 hours per pay period, or 13 days/year. You may accumulate as much as you want.
Annual leave (vacation/personal/etc.) -- starts at 4 hours per pay period, increases to 6 (4 weeks/year) after 3 years and 8 (26 days/year) after 15 years. May not carry more than 240 hours (6 weeks) from year to year.
(ETA: And lori, I've been a fed since 1988 and have slightly more than 1000 hours of sick leave saved up. Scary how it can add up, isn't it?)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What msbelle said.
Ugh. When I got to the parking garage, it was just barely sprinkling, and my good umbrella is in the office, so I decided to forego my crappy car umbrella. About 45 seconds later it started pouring, so now I am dripping on everything.
