I’m so sorry, Kate. So sudden. I’m glad you were there.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I am so sorry Kate. I'm glad you were able to be with her as she passed.

Sheryl, can you take some of those days as partial days as self-care time. Maybe take a long walk, go to a spa, late lunch with a cocktail? Time for YOU. You are under a terrible amount of stress and maybe carving out small bits of time that you've already accrued but look like a normal workday might give you a little relief.

Cass is sounding pretty sensible

Our wings are not tired.

Oh Kate, I am so very sorry. May your memories bring you comfort.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I’m so sorry, Kate.

Oh Kate, I’m so sorry. That was so quick from your recent post to now. How sad.
