If she is maxed out on her time off, that could cover 3 months off. I doubt this is a true leave - just her way of making her announcement. Plus, she is high enough up in the company that she could likely take 3 months off without pay without an issue.
We all congratulated her and asked questions about the puppy. But I'm still just....what?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I don't know.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am taking a week's vacation when I bring NewDog home, but that's mostly because I really need a week's vacation.

With the meetings I'm having, I'm tentatively getting more excited about the job I'll be moving to. I think I'll be able to shape policy and drop the hammer on some stuff. I'll totally be leveling up on the number of bad guy life ruinings!
