Writing is a great way to look busy. I wrote lots of fic in my econ classes, and I bet that helped my grade, because it looked like I was diligently taking notes. Making busy noises on a keyboard makes bosses happy, too.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I remember visiting one of my dad's offices as a kid, and being shocked at how much time they spent just shooting the shit. Even as a kid!

Y'all know I hardly work, right? Every other Monday off for working an extra 45 minutes a day, and I am up to five weeks vacation leave.
I am in the wrong job! I work an extra 45 minutes a day and get extra work on the weekend for my troubles! Not that often, I admit.

My frustration is that if I work OT one week and want to take time the next week (same pay period), I have to reduce my time off hours by the OT hours. Meaning I end up with just 80 hours instead of 80+OT. So, while I may take time off, my PTO balance doesn't go down.
Now that the kids are grown and I have flexible hours, my PTO balance is higher than it has ever been before. Wish I could take it in one big block.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I remained miffed that FT in ny was 9 to 5 and here it is 8 to 5.
I would love 35 hours a week with benefits.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I have a friend who asked about that recently, and it blew my mind.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

20 years in the south and I still haven't gotten over that shit.

The song "Workin' 9 to 5" baffled me for a long time. I kept counting the hours and going "Don't they get lunch? Are they paid for lunch? How are they getting a 40-hour week without something being really hinky?"

Pretty sure that's not legal, Suzi. There are specific professions where OT calculations are based on 2/80 calculations like nursing, but that's the exception not the rule.

ME TOO!!!
I thought maybe that times had changed.
Here full time is 8- 4:30 or 8:30 - 5. If you are hourly, you are considered full-time at 37.5 hours, but you get paid less (obviously)
