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.

mac was off with noissues this morning. in fact, by the afternoon we had noissues. silly little man, it takes him so long to learn things.

ion, a co-worker brought in bagels this morning and they are a hero. omg I was so hangry and carby goodness with fat smear is just the ticket.

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.

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.

I know we've got a lot of pro-union folks here. (I agree they're helpful and necessary but think they can also be abused) Does this article come across as a fair look at their problems and benefits or is the author missing something? [link]

His suggestions at the end definitely seem better thought out than Walker's current slash and burn tactics.

Mmmm, carby goodness with fat smear. That might be my favorite.

My god--how do you attract and keep developers with initiative? We've just lost the third one in my two years here, and we're in the middle of a knowledge transfer session, and the remaining staff? Nothing. Flat. I keep telling them that if they don't have enough information to pick up where he left off on every single task, to ask him now, because he's leaving...

And nobody is speaking up for shit. At least the developer that's leaving understands that they don't, so he's going extra slow, but I'm not sure what reason the remaining developers have to not try and suck him dry of the knowledge he has...

Unrelatedly, how do you spell "the" "teh" every single time in a multi-paragraph ticket?
