Being senior for fifteen years is either cool as shit or kinda depressing.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
I'm not sure she's ever worked anywhere else, honestly. She's been at the agency for probably thirty years now, and she's one of the VPs.

We've got several people here who've been with the company long enough that they only way to use up their vacation time is to take 4-day weeks about half the year. (And if we're really busy and need all hands on deck, they'll come in anyway, so it's not like we're constantly short-staffed.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think it basically comes down to pettiness. Like you're getting away with something working four day weeks when everyone else has to work five! (And, you know, take two weeks off in the summer or whatever.)
Yeah, I think that's about it. Frankly, I think I would get out of doing more work if I took the full week.
I have no standing meetings on Fridays, and obviously would be flexible about it.

I think part of the reasoning is that if you're taking off all the Fridays, other people don't get a shot at the Fridays.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Hourly folk at my company are urged to work a 9/80 schedule (9 hour days M-Th, every other Friday off). So any given Friday, only half the hourly staff is there. Then you add in the salaried staff who take a long weekend...our Friday's are pretty quiet. Nice to get caught up on work, but sucky if you need responses from other folk.
Today has started with a migraine. My workload is light at the moment, so maybe I'll take a half day, as in nap now, work later.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It’s sad that msbelle has already forgotten what a real bagel is.

My job doesn't work like that.

Kat, where does Noah take his swim lessons? We did Mommy and Me classes at Jim Herrick and were just going to take Shane there for individual lessons, but have heard mixed reviews.
