Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, hey, I just checked and I have 420 hours of accrued vacation time. And because we have 35-hour workweeks, that's twelve weeks.

I guess I need to start chipping into that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Yes Tom, you do.

I think I'm going to lose about 19 hours at year's end, which isn't too bad. I suppose I could take an extra day off this week, but I hate to ask on such short notice.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Matt, asking for one day off on short notice isn't bad if you don't have anything urgent going on. It's no worse than calling in sick because you didn't feel well.

I'm taking lots of half-days off to take care of my use or lose for this year. (But my schedule is so complicated with doctor appointments, physical therapy, and infusions that I email my supervisor first thing Monday morning to remind her of when I'm in, when I'm out, and when I'm teleworking.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Take your time off, people!!

I did my errands (last gift bought, grocery shopped) and cleaned out the fridge a little. Now eating lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm irrationally annoyed that my main work lunch place wants to give me a free cupcake for my birthday, but it's only good for a week, and I won't be at work for a week! Is it worth it to go down there (not far) for a free cupcake???

The zoo was, in fact, a zoo last night. My family driving from Oxford spend an hour in traffic coming up Vine street from the highway.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

There is no time to take the time! I am thinking of 4 day weeks for awhile, but I don't want to get too used to them!

I just got my computer back, and none of my chargers match it! aargh! I need to do stuff on my computer and not the iPad issued to me, because it is a pain in the ass.

Sophia if you need to burn 5 weeks of vacation you could literally do 4 day weeks for half the year!

I am "working" today but so far that means doing a bit of training, sending one email, and reviewing one thing. I have one other thing to do but figure I can do it Thurs/Fri when I am also working?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I got up early for a work meeting, fucked around, ate an early lunch, and now I need to shower so I can go to therapy.

Someone tell me to get up and go shower.
