Hil sorry about the on hold hell and dealing with insurance hell.

SJ sorry about the stuff getting ruined by yay for zulily for offering great customer support.

I remembered what I was going to say - our leave is chaning. Instead of having vacation and sick and PTO it's all going to be PTO time. Which is fine. But it won't roll over. And depending on when you started is when your roll over date is. So Mine will be in November. AT some point in August all the time is going to be converted to PTO and I sent an email to my manager clarifying if that would be then erased as of November 1. It's not a lot of time. Like 3 days but I'd still like to use it instead of it being lost.

The sucky thing is there is no real way to plan for this. Either you use it for sick time or you use it for vacation time but if you try and save it and get to close to the date then you have to use it all up. I have a feeling this is going to turn into a scheduling nightmare.

But they've already done this with management. My manager (who is an assistant manager) said because of black outs on vacation time for the holidays (which is longer for managers) and the timing of our physical inventory (and the black out for vacations for the mangers for that) AND when his roll over date is he either takes vacation time in about 6 months in the summer and uses it all OR he tries to save some for sick leave, doesn't get sick, and loses it.

It's my own fault for ordering something like that online, but the price was too good to resist. The biggest pain was the mess it made trying to unpackage it and salvage the other items in the shipment.

Hil, we have an inflatable mattress you are welcome to borrow. If the week you need it happens to be the week we're all out of town, we can leave it with Teppy or something.

Thanks. I'd need it starting this Friday or Saturday, until next Wednesday or so. (Let me get back to you tomorrow -- I need to figure out logistics when I'm a bit less pain-killer-addled. Spent a lot of time last week in Maine walking on the beach, which was lovely, but my joints are now protesting that much time walking without my ankle brace.)

I find air mattresses comfy.

That's all I got. Today was too Monday.

I also find air mattresses comfy. But I know folks who don't. Test if possible, first.

Mine too. I hate my life right now.

My poor baby girl! She came home a bit of lobster today. Ugh. Not sure how this will work out for the rest of the week, but I can't cancel her camp, plus she really liked it. Ugh.

Moving is complicated. I'm trying to figure out what to do on which day, to get the most stuff done. Right now, best plan looks like taking all the stuff that I'm planning on donating or selling or bringing to electronics recycling and just putting it all in my car, and then bringing it to the appropriate places after the movers have taken my stuff. Because that will get that stuff out of the way, but won't waste time with driving to to places, since I'll have plenty of time after the movers and not so much time before. And most of what I need to do with the before time is gather up all the junk around here and throw it away. I feel like I keep doing that. And yet, keep ending up with more scraps of paper and packaging and bags and papers and other random crap.

Hil, I found that little runs of donations were needed to keep me motivated, and to open up other zones for better access. But I am realizing belatedly what a crap ass job I did of cleaning up my sister's apartment, so on second thought maybe don't follow my advice.
