And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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

I hope that is as good as it sounds!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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!

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.

Neighbor wine night. Actual parade of us marching up Chestnutt Hill, clanking wine bottles and glasses. Awesome, as usual.my neighborhood likes carrots. And wine.

Punishingly Intricate

That's what my employer does, Dana, and it is awesome

Our wings are not tired

I give my employees 6 weeks, but for all practical purposes it's unlimited.
