Vibing for Owen's mouth!
I can has a social life this week! Yesterday was dinner with smonster and brenda and had a great time (yay for Buffista dinners!!), and tomorrow is movie night with two friends I haven't seen in a while. In between, I'm stuck here until late to make up for leaving early yesterday and then I'm working my usual 4-hour shift at the bookstore tomorrow.
I've got Sunday off to get things done around the apartment, and I have to go shopping for a replacement answering machine/phone for my living room (the current answering machine stopped working this week for no particular reason, but it is at least 12 years old).
Oh!! This afternoon I'm having a massage!!
Has it already started?
YES. Today is Furlough Friday. Good times.
I would like a massage!! Although I did have one two weeks ago...
I'd be okay with Furlough Fridays if I actually got the day off. Instead we are having a "strike" for one day. LAme.
I'd be ok with Furlough Fridays for a while.
There was a raison in my pumpernickle bagel - not right.
No. it' not right at all.
I think what irks me about the work stoppage is that it proves nothing, messes with my years of service for retirement and requires me to take either an unpaid day off or to take one of my days as PN.
I'm really tempted to take the thursday before + the friday as sick days and give myself a long weekend?
We've only had one furlough paycheck so far, so we'll see how I feel about it next month. So far, the days off are great!
I just had to cut off my nails because one was breaking way down. Sad! I'm still surprised I can grow my nails past my fingers.
I hate my sick day situation this year. At 9 days taken, things are triggered for it to be noted in your review - maybe nothing happens, but whatever. I am at 4.5 days already. In addition, I have already taken 2.5 of the 3 personal days I get. And I know I am just feeling like a day off because the March/April stretch of no holidays. Thing is though, because I am my own worst enemy, the next three holidays look like this: travel, family staying with us, US Open & family staying with us.
I wish I could lend you a couple of my vacation days.
Today is slow, I'm documenting source code which is about as exciting as watching paint dry. As someone who has had a job involving watching paint dry, I speak from experience.
