I would actually like less time off over the winter break. I get really tired of my kids, especially last year when we didn't travel. But I can see the value in shutting down the heat and stuff.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

One of my goals today is get receipts for my FSA turned in. As I was looking through our company website, I discovered that there is some unadvertised company matching FSA $. Plus there is something called an HRA that has a very large amount listed as available for reimbursement. I have no clue what the HRA is or if I really have access to that money. If so - woot! Have sent a note off to HR saying WTF (in nicer language, of course).

I think I'm a hugger, but I've become so paranoid about offending a non-hugger accidentally that I wind up seeming more standoffish and non-huggy than I'd otherwise be.
Heh. I'm not actually anti-hug in a non-work environment. But I am awkward and shy, so it comes off looking like the same thing.

I'm a hugger, but I kind of open my arms from a distance. That way people can step in and hug or offer a hand to shake instead.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
We cannot roll over more than 3 days of vacation and then we must use them by March of the next year, so no one here can build up a huge stash. I have always used all of my vacations days whereever I have been, do not understand not taking days off.
As for the people in this office who always seem to be out? A couple of them actually do steal days and I hate them with a fiery hot passion. In fact, as admin, I will sometimes override the system and enter their abscenses which auto sends them out an email.

Yikes! I hope that works out as an improvement for the neighborhood.

I hate to speculate on the circumstances where it would worsen things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ION, I'm finally making the damn cookies, for a party on Sunday. How soon do you think I can bake them? Will Thursday be OK?
