It's one of the drawbacks to the freelance thing.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
So Jason Giambi made a heartfelt apology to Yankee fans the other day.
I saw this. His not explaining what he is apologizing for is worth $82 million, perhaps. I could be persuaded to not-explain for that sum.
Guy looked like he was waiting for his own execution, though. Which, I mean, this is New York -- he pretty much was.
Have nothing to say about jobs, people-hours, pay per people-hours, and benefits accrued therefrom. It is Friday and I am one meeting and one complicated email away from the weekend.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Sick Time Non-exempt (me) 10 days
Sick Time Exempt 2 months at the start up to 1 year after you have worked 10 years
Vacation Time Clerical (me) 15 days, and one extra day for every year worked after 4 years, up to 30 years. Vacation time Supervisory and Faculty starts at 25 days, but still maxes out at 30 days.
I would have thought that Vacation would be more of a contrast. I guest lower level people can't get sick?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Or maybe if they die, they're easier to replace?

I couldn't tell you how many sick days we have. I think it's more honored in the breach. But I've never heard of sick days that carry over - I thought they were generally a use or lose proposition.
In dog news, I had a note from the new dog walker last night after his second visit saying that he still can't believe how well behaved Lucy is, especially compared to some of the other dogs he sees. I'm just ridiculously pleased by this.

I've read some of Chalker's books. I can't remember them real well though.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
In work news that continues to make me laugh. The memo I drafted to clear up this mistake/non mistake whatever decision by my boss was 5 lines long. 3 sentences. I have just been told, but have not seen, that his re-write is 4 paragraphs long. It is so far out of my hands now I don't even have to type it up.
ALso? How is it only 1:40? It feels at least like 3!

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

I KNOW! I haven't even eaten lunch, yet. My tummy is grumbly.
