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

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...
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.

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.

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.

I earn a day and half a month of vacation, a day of sick. But I have like 300 hours of sick. ridiculous. Also, here you take a full day or nothing, so I never take off for doctor's appointments or whatever unless I want to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I was working full time I would use them up just going to the doctor.
I don't take sick time for partial days, just whole ones. I think that's how salaried is supposed to work. I've had a couple days where I left the hospital, went home and cleaned up, and came in after lunch.
Which is sad, but allowable.
Her boyfriend just bought her a pole and installed it in the living room. LA is an interesting place.
A friend's brother just did that for his wife, and another friend (who is, I think, single) just put her own in.
Apparently they disguise the installation so when it's disassembled it just looks like a hook for a hanging plant. Unless, of course, you've seen one before, in which case it's clear.
There are at least two talented female krav/fitness instructors who do both trapeze and pole dancing...perfect women or scary as hell--you decide.

see edit -- and my eye doctor's appointments - take me out for the day. I get paid by the hour, so anytime off counts. Actually - even for full time people at the library we are a big enough system where hours have to be accounted for. ( we can't work over time either, so unless an adjustment can be made you have to take the time off) for DH - technically they don't count, but 30 to 50% of his get canceled at the last minute because he can't get out of the office. . So for some of his doctors - that are harder to see - taking a sick day is the way to go.
Of course, I believe in very generous sick leaves- I really don't want anyone's germs near me. I never used to get sick, but now if anything gets near my lungs I am down for a week and a couple of weeks before I am at my best .
