I had my afternoon coffee and am ready to take on the next two hours!! Man, everything is kind of a cluster here because our fiscal year ends 6/30.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
-t, I don't know what to say. What a difficult situation for everyone.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm so sorry, -t. Been through that with my brother and I remember the furious helplessness very well.

Honestly, I forget it's happening most of the time, it is just too big to think about very much.
Hey, my office is closing 7/3, but not giving us a paid holiday. Mixed feelings - I'm running pretty close to the edge with my vacation time this year to be forced to use some up outside my plan, but 4-day weekend is always nice.

Wait, they're closing the office but forcing everyone to use up one of their own leave days? WTF?

Because books.
The owner of the bakery where I work closes for two weeks in July and two weeks in January. That's a full month out of the year I don't get a paycheck. Since it's been two years now, I'm going to negotiate how to change my pay structure, because those months always panic me.

Hourly employees can use PTO or not get paid, salaried have to use PTO, is what we are told. Does not seem right to me, but not enough for me to do anything about it, probably. If I run out of vacation time, I'm not gonna not take the time off I already have planned, I'll find out what happens at that point.
