Does that seem nuts?
That is bananas, Kat. You're not in a rural area with limited options!
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

I must confess, I would love a 3 month doggie leave without the doggie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If working isn't enough to cover a car rental, well, one still has to think about one's reputation, and if a car rental is too expensive to preserve that...yeah, other nurses sound like a good thing to explore.

Speaking as an hourly employee, yeah, that seems nuts.
And not just my clients. I've been working off and on for the last six years to resolve a tricky question involving the proper storage and handling of archaeological material, and it's all gummed up with state law versus federal law versus tribal interests and a great deal of politics. And my state counterpart, whom I was just on the phone with, sounded quite disconsolate at the prospect of having to start from scratch with whomever I dump this on.
That's terrible. For, like, the world. Gah.

Also- yay Lee's New Dog Vacation! When we got Walter, I was able to stay home with him a lot of the time and it was very helpful in getting him acclimated.

I would love a three month leave. With or without dog. Though preferably without, so I could travel. And not feel guilty about leaving the dog when te months were up! That's still weird though. Also, why are Kat's nurses (and ita's for that matter) so bad? You'd think someone would love the routine basic schedule. And show up on time. Regularly.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My sister got her second doberman when she was between jobs--she had two months home with him and he really was one of the best trained dogs she ever had because she had so much time to spend training him before she started her new job. But it just worked out that way.
I definitely could see taking a week off to get get a dog settled at home but three months seems a bit...excessive.

Most attendants have crazy amounts of jobs. wish I didn't know what that was like, Kat.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yeah, I think between the cats and NewDog needing extra time to stop being afraid of me (or anyone new), the week is kind of necessary, but I think more than that would make me stir crazy.
