At my last job, I didn't ever have time to take all my vacation and I was getting to the use it or lose point. I'd have gladly donated that time.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My dad has often given away time he wasn't going to use.

I would love it if my company did PTO and/or allowed donations. Because I have 300+ hours of sick leave, and that's just silly.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Hannukkah!
It's supposed to snow tomorrow.(It actually was flurrying when I left for work this morning)They're talking about maybe an inch. Ah, time for this Connecticut-born-and-raised girl to laugh at the people panicking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You better get pregnant ASAP, Strega.
Walking around New York this week, I was thinking, they couldn't have held off on all the big Christmas decorations until next week? Let Hannukah have this week all by itself? Or, possibly, put up the Hannukah decorations three weeks ago. Either way.

My company does PTO donations, but only for vacation leave, not sick (that is, you can donate vacation, but you can't donate your 6 billion hours of sick leave if you never get sick). We see requests for donations fairly often, though (I can think of 3 or 4 in my 5 years), and since 200 people work in my immediate part of the organization, it can add up.

In celebration of Hannukah I bring you this from the Casper archives:
mr. flea: Who comes at Christmas?
Casper: Santa and his little elves!
mr. flea: What do they bring?
Casper: Um, presents?
mr. flea: For who?
Casper: For the children!
me: There are other things we celebrate about Christmas. Like, the birth of the baby Jesus...
Casper: And some people celebrate a harmonica!! [makes shy face, because she knows something about that is wrong]
mr. flea: I was telling her about Chanukah the other night.

There should totally be a day to celebrate a harmonica!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
See, I was thinking Casper had learned Adam Sandler's "The Hanukkah Song":
Tell your friend Veronica, it's time to celebrate Hanukkah
I hope I get a harmonica, on this lovely, lovely Hanukkah.
