Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I know several people who are deaf in one ear and do fine. Except for not waking up for anything when they sleep on the good ear and turning their head to hear better sometimes.
You have just described my dad. Except that now that he's 81, he has a hearing aid in his good ear.
I'm so sorry, Fiona.
My first job was about 2.5 years, the next one 9 years and I'm in year 3 of the current one. I'm starting to look for a new job, but I'm going to be pretty picky - I'd like more money and a different employer, but I love the people and the hours here.
I'm just past three in my current job, but for once I'm not feeling burned out and antsy for a change, so that's good.
I think at my next job, I really need to power through the 2.5 year point which it seems is when I get antsy. If this company were not moving and I were not moving, I could see myself staying here for years despite many drawbacks. I have had 2 jobs that changed office space that doubled my commute, and both times it contributed to my decision to leave.
At the moment, my big hang up is the job I have my eye on is a gov't position, so only 10 holidays/year. I have over 20 where I am now, plus 24 vacation days + 18 sick days.
I'm lazy!
I'm on year 5 at my current job, which is the longest I've ever worked anywhere.
Huh. This conversation just made me go and check and I've now got another 5 PTO days per year. Of course, I've never yet managed to take all of my existing 18, and they don't roll over. But maybe I'll have to make an extra effort this year.
Jesus, xkcd is not supposed to make people CRY.
On the flip side, Matthew Bomer is very pretty.

Oh, jealous. I went from being super-spoiled in the Peace Corps (24 days off a year which I only had to use for international travel, since I could always make visiting my fellow volunteers "work-related" plus Moldovan holidays, which believe you me are plentiful, plus basically unlimited sick days) to state government (8.19 hrs/month vacation after five years plus 11 days holiday plus 12 days sick leave). I can never accumulate any vacation. After volunteering in NOLA in March, unless they let me use Community Service Leave, I'll have about an hour left till the next month.
