You need to release some voles in the house, so that he can get his recommended daily allowance of murder.

I can't see any way in which that could lead to hilarious and possibly rabies-carrying shenanigans.

I swear to God that if I ever get a work-at-home job, I'll get a dog.

Shit I can't say on Facebook:

Dillo (12) is in his room, playing a video game online with a friend and chatting over the headset. I overhear: "Dude, I had a dream I had two dicks..."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You wouldn't get a comp day for working on a weekend, Jesse? Our system for that is very informal and, I guess, kind of generous. Hardly ever comes up, though.

My boss is pretty easy with time, like if I ever leave at 3, I don't put in anything, but no, no one ever offered me a free day off for working on a weekend.

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

Well, if you were hourly you'd get double time for working on a paid holiday, and not for Sunday, so that makes some sense. At least that's my possibly not very accurate understanding of how it works in CA

Anyway, I don't mind it! I don't work a lot of extra time, so five hours once a year is fine.

I'll basically take Thursday afternoon off for graduation, too.

Our bean counters are really particular about 80 hrs per pay period. Mgmt really has to explain hours over & they hate that (even though it isn't paid overtime), so if you work on a weekend, you take that lost weekend time off in that pay period. Since our pay periods end midnight Friday, you always have at least a week if you can't plan ahead.

Hours under, well, sick & vacation leave is generous enough, it gets used for that.

Punishingly Intricate

Man, I am so glad I don't have to keep track of sick or leave time for me or my team.
