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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I starte dmy new job with 10 vacation, 10 sick, and the "normal" holidays. But Boss is pretty cool about Take a day, work a weekend day and comp time and such.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH's employer did a thing this year where they lumped all their time off into one giant catagory--sick time, vacation, personal and family leave. I think he gets 45 days off a year but he's been with the company for 10 years.

You can buy a stripper pole/stage combo in Dallas for $350.

move out and draw fire

You could buy a stripper pole for your daughter in Europe about a year ago. 15 Euros or so got you a bright pink kit that was clearly aimed at teen and pre-teen girls. There was a bit of a stink about it; let me see if I can find internet traces...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There was a scandal a Christmas or two ago when stripper pole kits (not as elaborate as in that ad) were accidentally stocked in the toy section. Can't remember what store that was. Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me mentioned it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, that's how ours are. Paid Time Off, rather than all the different kinds. I have 18, plus the federals. I really like it a lot better, because, as others have said, it mitigates the unspoken pressure not to use anything but vacation beyond a bare minimum.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, vw!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I starte dmy new job with 10 vacation, 10 sick, and the "normal" holidays. But Boss is pretty cool about Take a day, work a weekend day and comp time and such.

I started here with 20 vacation days, 10 sick days in theory (in practice, it's more as long as I can prove I'm sick) and normal holidays, which includes a day off for a horse race. As far as I'm aware, this is the legal minimum (they could be more stroppy about excess sick leave, but that's it).

So meara, have you been looking at jobs in Australia?

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

You'll know I've gone irredeemably "native" should I buy my own stripper pole. Please send help if so.
