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..."

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.

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.

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

Oh dear, that shirt in flea's famous tweet does in fact say exactly what she says it does.

Houses where I grew up: My father's widow Kathy still lives in their house, which they bought in '84. My cousin lives in the "family cabin" my maternal grandparents bought in '68, on the Inverness Ridge above Point Reyes. Lisa and I drove by the house where I spent most of '72 to '83 the last (both as in most recent and as in final) time we went to Tennessee to visit my father and Kathy, in 2014. It looks much the same from the outside.

Sympathies to everyone having job and health trouble; I hope everyone gets much better news soon.

Our summer hours started yesterday, so we were allowed to sign off at 2. Or in my case 3 because I had to clean up after an absolute clusterfuck of a conference call involving a colleague who is very young and very eager to use words he used in his PMI certification class but has zero or maybe negative experience actually leading projects. (And since I'm about to formally move into a new PM role here there is every chance that this will officially be my mess to clean up in the next few weeks. So.)

BUT I did eventually log off, and picked up my new SUP at REI which means on future summer WFH days I can blow off steam by driving myself to the public boat launch and paddling for an hour or two. YAY.

Today we're going on a family bike ride with a picnic at one end, so feeling very athletic and outdoorsy.

picked up my new SUP

Nice! I enjoyed doing that in Rarotonga, but I fear it will be more difficult (and colder!) on Lake Michigan.
