Question: I'm assuming you don't get vacation days paid out when you leave if there's unlimited PTO, right? Will that change with a limit? I guess I've never been a person who uses all my time off, which maybe is a bigger issue!
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In other news, I just saw there's a set list for the Elizabeth Warren gig, and I only know half the songs. I guess I'm still going though. Especially since I'm pretty sure I talked a fellow mediocre trombonist into going!

Ferdinand. He makes me cry!
Jesse- did you see the all trombone Bohemian Rhapsody?
I talked to my old boss and our administrator today, and they are supportive of me applying for this new role. As is the hiring manager.
Online application systems suck, though! I am so old and have been at the university for so long I never had to use one. I could not figure out the right code to say I went to a four year college and ended up searching the codes by one letter at a time, because somehow searching the words bachelors, college or university had no results!

Of course! It's amazing.

Go Sophia!
Glad to hear your aunt is breathing, Dana!
Mediocre trombones getting out there for the good gigs!
My brother and his girlfriend are down for a visit, so I'll be hanging with the fam tomorrow, I expect. We may totally avoid returns news, I'm not sure.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Right, with unlimited PTO, there's nothing paid out. I don't remember how much we're allowed to carry over from year to year, but I don't think it will matter much, since I made pretty damn sure to use all my vacation when I had it.

I admire that.

As a salaried empoylee who was once an hourly employee, I have been carrying over the max (5 weeks) for years, and losing some every year. When I moved to this department, I was carrying five weeks because of denied requests, and earning five weeks. I just sort of suck up the losing, because I have unlimited sick time, and I definately use that for "mental health days" where a vacation request would be too last minute. And mental health days are days I just can be a person at work

Because books.
So tonight at work I took a call for Mountain View Mortuary, where they film a huge percent of cemetery scenes in Hollywood (because it's so gorgeous), and it was a guy calling from the reboot of Veronica Mars! It was very hard not to fangirl.

Just found out a coworker died. I don't need sympathy, it's just whoa. Used to see her all the time & casually chat about cats & houses & work bullshit, but then moved buildings & didn't see her much, though we talked Baltimore via fb fairly recently. Didn't even know she was sick. She only had a decade on me. Meh.
