A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I used to get four weeks (and then, briefly, unlimited), but with the current job, they are hard set about 2 weeks. I tried to negotiate based on my seniority, and nothing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just checked, and I'm sitting on more than 30 days of vacation and almost 67 days sick. Yikes.

What I said before was wrong, and I can now roll over 8 weeks, not 6.

Deepest condolences to you and your family, Kate. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry, Kate. It must be so sudden and shocking.

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

I cashed out 2 weeks of vacation time this year and last year, which was nice to have the extra money but I think in a general way I would be better served by taking the time off.

Oh no, Kate, I'm so sorry. What a terrible thing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I’m sorry for your loss, Kate.

I get 8 hours annual leave and 4 hours sick leave per pay period. (I have been with my current employer 22 years) I can carry over 240 hours to the next year. I have a good bit more than that, and no plans for travel this year.
