My parents' goal for the land they bought in Canada (my generation was getting too big for the existing cabins, and it was easier to just buy more land and build on it than to try and haggle ownership rights of the current properties) is to have one main big cabin and several satellite cabins that are basically just bunkhouses, maybe with little kitchenettes. It's going to be AWESOME.
(I'm also angling for a waterslide from the main cabin down to the lake, but I'm not sure that's going to happen. Maybe I'll build one when I inherit.)
It's not even ten o'clock here and I need a nap.
We had what we called a greenhouse (structure with very low walls built against the property-dividing walls, and with metal pipes that came up and over, like oversized croquet hoops all lined up neatly, with planks lying atop them. Inside said greenhouse (probably 6' by 20') was an aquarium with cracked glass, three steps up to a platform by the wall, and flowerbeds. It was all ours. It didn't need to make sense.
We also had what we called an outhouse which was really a big shed (20' x 20'? maybe bigger) where garden stuff went. And where the dog was locked when she was in heat, and when that failed, where she had her litter. There was also a bathroom in it. God forbid the gardener should come inside to pee.
And then there was an attached apartment. The door off our kitchen had a deadbolt, and on the other side was a pantry/small kitchen, laundry room, TV room, bedroom and bathroom. God forbid the helper should live
in
our house proper.
Grandma developed the land a couple of decades ago. Her house is still there, but the "little houses", as we called them, and barn and everything are gone. It's a small subdivision, now.
Is slightly less than three months on a new job too soon to take a sick day?

Hey, if you're sick, you're sick. And if you're not sick - well, they don't have to know that....

Did you start accruing sick time as soon as you started or was there a waiting period?
Are you sick?
I'm at the almost tail end of a migraine that just won't go all the way away.

It starts accruing right away, but there is a line in the policy about "employees should try not to take sick days for x months". I just can't remember if x is 2,3, or 6.
Feh.
If you're sick, take the sick day, Perkins.
