It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good point.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Typing with one eye on Mr. S, as usual.

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

Wow. My employer just announced that they're switching to an unlimited leave policy effective immediately.

I hope that is as good as it sounds!

Well, it was already pretty generous, but I won't deny that it's especially handy this year, since I have two trips to Europe planned. (Poor me.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds amazing. (Boss-dependent, I guess?)

Wow. I feel like that would freak me out though. Like how would I know I wasn't abusing it?!? Or having people perceive me to abuse it even though I wasn't?? Though really, who couldn't use more vacation time? I get a fairly good amount for the US but...

Ha, I was saying this to my husband over dinner. But I can't see myself taking a huge amount more than the four weeks I already got. A day here or there.

Yeah, that would be nice not to have to worry about. That said, I'm usually the kind of person with extra time I haven't taken, and having a deadline gives incentive there!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Yeah, most years I don't use the whole four weeks I accrue throughout the year, and end up not being able to roll all my hours over to the next year.
