Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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.

What is even happening?

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

Oldest boys wedding? Surely that can’t be right Cindy! Old enough to marry???

I have never had a job with separate sick and vacation time, only PTO. Which is maybe BS for in office jobs but I’ve worked from home (and/or traveling) for 15 years, so almost never need sick time anyway. (And after 5 days we can do STD)

Aw, how sweet, Cindy. Congratulations! They look just lovely and happy, as do you, even though you're crying, hee.
