I know.
Our VP has 6 months of leave time to use or lose before April. I hate him.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I currently have 927.1 hours of sick leave. Anyone want some?
I have eight hours left, lori. I may need to borrow.

Lori, me, me!
I would have stayed home yesterday, or at least attempted to work from home, but the two times I have tried to work from home because a migraine made it unsafe for me to drive but not to work, my bosses in NY decided that I needed to just call in sick. Between that, being a new employee, and having had to take sick time because of my teeth problems, I am down to .70 days of sick time. (I have never come close to running out before in any of my other jobs), and I am damned if I am going to take vacation time for a cold.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Perkins, had you already done work on those days? My first boss's boss here explained to me that if you do two hours of work (I think he claimed it California law) and you're a salaried employee, it counts as a full day. Not that it's something you want to try and get away with, but still -- he laughingly suggested one dial in for a couple hours a day from Bali, or wherever, and never take any vacation time.

I got more honey, a lemon, cough medicine, and cough drops at the sto' and made some plans to get better.
First: Laundry. Clean fresh jammies and sheets are in order. Then: hot bath with a hot milk bubble bar.
Curl up in bed, drink hot tea, take medicine, watch Dead Like Me, sleeeeep.
Wake up, chug more orange juice, tell cold to fuck off.

On one of the days, I did, and counted it as a half day, since I didn't feel comfortable claiming I worked a full day. On the other day I just thought fuck it, and went back to bed.

You can probably mock up some form that will let us do that, right?

I vaguely remember having sick days, once upon a time. I didn't use them up, and they didn't get paid out (like vacation days did) when I quit. But they didn't disappear at te end of te year, either.
