NYC employees typically get Election Day off, but they needed extra coverage because of Sandy, so I volunteered to come in. I'll get some comp time for it, eventually.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I have never gotten election day off, but then, I absentee voted mostly, even before moving to Seattle and everyone voting by mail. My roommate took my ballot to drop off in the official box along with hers, today (she works downtown). Save me a stamp. But I'm kinda jealous of people who get to vote in person, it's so much more fun!
Tommyrot, that is a very thorough survival list.
Also: How many people get Veteran's Day off? Roomie was like "Well, almost everyone does!" and I was like "Uh, no. The feds and some people in DC because the feds do, but mostly NOT" Anyone?

I get Veteran's Day off, which kind of softens the blow of having to come in tomorrow.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Do not get it off. The Labor Day to Thanksgiving stretch is almost as bad as New Year's to Good Friday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We can take off as much time as we want to vote tomorrow, but apparently only two hours are paid. Not sure what that means to salaried workers.
I am, for the record, still in hospital, and dealing with much bullshit. They're coming in to give me repeated small doses of dilaudid, and when I ask them why they think the 7th small dose will do something the 6th didn't, the nurse shifts her weight from foot to foot and says she's really sorry about my pain, and do I want to be rubbed with homeopathic lavender oil? The simplest, politest true thing to tell her is that I don't do fragrances because of triggers, and she says "of course it only works if you're open to it" Yeah. That's what's at hand here.
DO ANY DOCTORS WORK HERE?

Jesus, Mary & Joseph, ita, this is ridiculous. I do not comprehend how you can be going to the same hospital week after week, and every fucking time it's as though you've never been there before! By now they should have your pain doc or your neuro on speed dial!
I hate these people on your behalf.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, ita. They sent you to hell, instead of the hospital?
I don't get Veterans' Day off.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"of course it only works if you're open to it"
So just click your heels three times and the migraine will go away? Damn, why didn't your neurologist think of that?
Sorry you're dealing with this bullshit again.

I'm taking Monday off because it's my birthday, so it's kind of like getting Veteran's Day off. (Though schools are out that day so it's not going to be a real vacation.)
