Good grief, msbelle! I can't even.
Also, what y'all said about teeth, and insurance. Bullshit.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
For years I took sick days almost 1 a quarter sick or not, mental health days. But that was often at jobs with very little vacation and no personal days.
With 12 office holiday days a year, 5 personal days, and plenty (but still not enough) vacation, I haven’t done that with this job.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I keep thinking I should institute some kind of regular sick day taking whether I need it or not just because I have accumulated almost 3 weeks and that doesn't get paid out if you leave.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I haven't used a lot of sick leave-an hour here, an hour there for doctors' appointments mostly.(Though I used 5 hours today because we had an appointment at 11:30 with Mr. S's psychiatrist)
I was willing to use my sick leave when I had covid, but I had been put on a different type of leave.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We get 3 sick days a year, which is so ridiculous that I'm choosing to ignore it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am in the weird position of having so much vacation, I regularly lose it. I am carrying over 5 weeks per year and I get 5 weeks per year. I cannot take 10 weeks vacation and I wish I could give it to others. This is still because of a terrible job I had at the same company 17 years ago who would not let me take vacation, plus Covid, plus the fact that I am a single person dependency for several things. Basically I COULD, right now stop working for the rest of the year! And I feel guilty about it because I also have unlimited sick time, but after 10 days I have to apply for short term disability.
We are working on fixing this, but it is a slow process to untangle 17 years of single person dependency on an urgent problem solving thing…
I am sorry guys- the actual pay is terrible.

Take a day every couple of weeks. They will be fine for 1 day. Or start with taking half days. You deserve to have your time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's true! That's what I did in 2020, and it was great.

Okay, so I know I'm an apostate. Here are photos from my oldest boy's wedding. [link]
