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.)
Take your time off, people!!
I did my errands (last gift bought, grocery shopped) and cleaned out the fridge a little. Now eating lunch.
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.
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 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.
Get up and shower, Dana!
Get your cupcake, Jesse!
We're back to our 9/80 schedule in January and this year MLK weekend will be 4 days for me, score! And the company winter party is NOT that weekend like it usually is, so actual real time off entirely away from work!
Sr Director just came through with her Xmas gifts - usually some piece of cookware we have a lot of excess inventory in. This year it's a set of 21 Lock&Lock storage containers, this is a brand new line for us so pretty exciting!
