So...anyone want to take bets on when I get the Easter music out of my head?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's Easter music? Or do you mean "Jesus Christ is Risen Today"?

I mean the songs we sang for the Easter service (which did include that one, of course).

I get four weeks PTO, with three weeks' worth rolling over at year's end (I almost always end up losing at least a couple days' worth of leave). The problem isn't not getting enough, it's how difficult it is to actually take time off without a vacation-seeking urgent deadline zeroing in on me.

Thanks for the well wishes, everybody!
My email is not working properly. Not a good time for it to act up, btw. But on the upside at least it deigned to send the large group email I needed to send out to 36 people last night. It's all the individual responses to attendee questions that it keeps dropping. Oy!
If I had a pushup bra I could control from my phone or my iPod, I would totally move my breasts during conversations.
It's a crying shame that you don't have one. Comedy gold right there.
And Lee totally wins at personal days. I'm jealous!

Now, thinking about the topic, I have "Up From The Grave He Arose" in my head, and we didn't even do that one! So at least it's different.
I love Easter hymns.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So my manager had an "Our Location" meeting with no call-in or web conference information. I called her, emailed her, texted her, nothing. Am I not supposed to feel twitchy right now?
And I'm watching Lost Girl flip a massive fuck you to Jamaican mythology. I should have finished that SPN fic I started a year ago. Apparently it's the only fair shake we're going to get.

I was essentially told a few weeks ago that I was lucky I got time off when Rob died, since I hadn't been there a year yet and wasn't entitled to vacation. There is no bereavement leave.
Holy shit, that's awful.
I wish I'd negotiated more when I took my current job, but I just didn't feel like I could -- I needed the job pretty badly, and it's not a terribly salary, just on the low end of what I'd like to be making. I think I asked for more vacation time (and didn't get it). But the company does pay 90% of my health insurance premium, which is great.
I'm actually about to ask my boss if I can take most of July off. M just got accepted into a monthlong program in Delhi, where he needs to do some research, and I think he's going to take it, so that seems like a logical time for me to go spend a couple of weeks up in MA with my family and seeing friends. But we're also going to England in late June, so it's a lot of time to be out of the office all at once. Plus it's more vacation time than I have, so I'll have to take some of it as unpaid leave. I hope she's amenable to the idea.
