None of our PTO days carry over, which is a bitch when you barely have a slowdown period all year. Feh.
Ouch!
I would be there right now.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

That sucks. Can you get paid for unused days?

So very wrong.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
lots of long weekends is the easiest way to make a situation like that work. But really, workplaces find a way to work without staff all the time and they need to allow for it.

Our wings are not tired.
If I am in a group, say, of 5 or 6 people, I'm going to hug all of them or none of them (if they're coming to me for hugs). I am not usually a touchy/feely person, but I would hate to be the one person left off of someone's "hug list" during such an occurrence, I wouldn't think that person had boundary issues, having seen her/him hug everyone else in the group; I'd think they just really didn't like me.

I'm a hugger if I know the person well. If not, I'm much more reserved. I'm fairly shy around people I don't know, so hugging is just an extension of that.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm not taking as much time off as I had planned for the holidays because a major project got pushed back (for reasons way beyond my control) about two months. Luckily, all the time I took off for my Greece trip drained my PTO hours enough that I can carry the remainder over. My manager, a good guy who also got caught up in the project madness, will lose PTO. We are allowed to carry an ungodly amount of PTO over (I'm bringing ~120 hours), which says sad things about the last time he had a break.

Brenda and I are in the same boat when it comes to PTO. They used to let us rollover 5 days to the next year, but they changed that policy about 7-8 years ago. I happened to be at a party with my cousin's husband (the company's CFO) a week after they announced the change in policy and asked him why the change, and he said it saved them $5m on the books, and it was either that or layoffs.
