That was the starting time off at my last two gigs.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

That's pretty standard for starting. You might be able to negotiate on the time off if you get an offer.

Serious? Maybe my industry is more generous than usual--my job before this I got 24 (total), and current-now-ex-job I got 18.
Partly I guess because people in my position do tend to work a lot of hours either in the office or travelling, and we don't get comp time for that...

You could certainly mention that you got 18 at your last job once you're to the the ironing out the details stage.

Same industry, as you know. Old job was 10 days sick, 2.5 weeks vacation starting. New job is 18 days of PTO.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
5 sick days a year? If I was working full time I would use them up just going to the doctor. Dentist 4 times a year;doctor twice; eye doctor 1 reg, 1 diabetes; mammogram. Not that they take all day - but when would I have time to be sick?
( i work part time - and get about 6 full days of sick leave- but they can add up - and because of my schedule, i don't have to take time off for doctor's apointments

beth, how does your company deal with appointments? I just leave for appointments and come back later. No worries about spending sick time on it.

We're not really allowed a certain number of sick days here. At first I thought okay, fine, you're sick when you're sick, but then I looked at the manager guidelines and learned that 7-8 days in a year was considered "poor" and 9 days or more was considered "excessive" (both of which were less than the 10 days we automatically got at my last office job way back when) . That made me even sadder than the 10 days vacation time that I get for my first 18 months.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
15 vacation days (going up to 20 at my two year anniversary), six sick days, 3 personal days, half-days can be made up with OT (good for doctors appointments, auditions, voice over work). Oh, and if we need additional time we get it with a docked pay check.
It's pretty sweet.

Random meara:
My old orchestra conductor teaches at the Meadow School of Music and lives in Plano.
Emily, your box story just made both ND and me laugh out loud. We have been there, my friend.
My good friend J. takes pole dancing lessons and has a ton of bruises but holy crap great abs from it. Her boyfriend just bought her a pole and installed it in the living room. LA is an interesting place.
ND and I are frustrated. Our new, carefully researched PCP is no longer at the practice, and apparently no one else there takes HMO patients.Yeah, sure we live in a classless society.
Vw, glad you're having a good birthday.
