'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Timelies all!
Yay Vortex and flea!
I'm currently at the 6 hours/pay period annual leave level at work.(Sick leave is at 4 hours/pay period for everyone) I'm a federal employee, so no change in salary for a while.(Not that I can negotiate salary at all)
Congrats Vortex! Yay flea!
Congratulations flea!
I just (like, on my lunch break a couple of hours ago)applied for a couple of permanent positions where I am temping. I doubt I will be negotiating for anything at this point, but I feel pretty good about my chances of getting an offer on one of them, at least.
Hope you can work something out for your leave, flea. Congrats on the offer, even if it is low.
I'm starting inquiries about a Harp loan. I may not have informed the mortgage holder of H's death yet. I hope that doesn't make for big problems.
"Were You There" is probably my favorite Easter hymn. At church camp, the minister of youth/choir director asked me to sing it a cappella at a specific point in the campfire service. Unexpected, in the starlit dark, after an extremely poignant anecdote. There were people weeping--weeping. Felt powerful, though emotionally manipulative. I can see where that sort of thing would become addictive. I've always been fond of the song, since.
Congrats to Vortex!
Congratulations Flea and Vortex!
Ooh, that sounds amazing, Beverly.
Congratulations, Flea!
The mystery of the unexpected day off is solved! Which I figured out when I looked at my calendar this morning. Tis the season where me and boss lady start working Saturdays, switching off every month. And she'd asked me to work this coming Saturday in her stead. I was expecting to comp next Monday, and we hadn't discussed this on Friday. But, bless her, she'd decided to comp me this Monday so I wouldn't be working a six day week. I'll only have a one day weekend, but, right now that sounds better than a six day week.
I do kinda wish that I'd known that ahead of time, though. Or that she'd texted me back with the reason why she was excusing me from work (it would've been an AWESOME day to finish the seed order for the veggie garden, jut me and the CHED director, since she also called in a mental health day on Monday -- I worry for mine and her's sanity, as she's going to be seeing her husband less and less this season).
