None of our PTO days carry over, which is a bitch when you barely have a slowdown period all year. Feh.
Ouch!
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.
