Happy Birthday Liese!
Today is turning into a boondoggle thanks to Google drive access weirdness and trying to work around a vendor being off for Rosh Hashanah next week.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

I feel like I should be aware of changes made by your employer that people would be yelling about on Twitter, Jess, but I'm not. Maybe should be tweeting that my experience continues to be fine and I haven't even noticed a change? That would require me to tweet, though, so that's not going to happen. Non-tweeter supports you on b.org, though, I guess.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Your support is noted and valued!
If you aren't on indie comics Twitter it probably didn't make that big of a splash.

Ah, that explains it.
My boss just confirmed that I can choose to continue to wfh until January. I still feel like this might be a trick. I'll be interested to hear how they square this with requiring all employees to work 16 hours at the outlet sale - not that I am objecting to working the sale, I did it last November and with all the precautions we took I was pretty comfortable with it so I assume this year we will be similarly careful, but the 25% of our workforce that is still unvaccinated I don't know about...

That is a lot of vacation, meara! I hate use-it-or-lose it PTO with a red hot fiery passion. I actually am cashing in 87 hours of vacation time to get what should be the equivalent of an extra paycheck in October. I feel like I am betraying my Take Time Off ideals but at this point I need the cash more. Last time I took two days off the stress of trying to leave everything in good shape before and then catching up afterwards outweighed the pleasantness of not working.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
They let us go home early today, so here I am.

I have about 7 weeks vacation right now, that is use it or lose it, although because Covid they are letting us get a payout for 60hours. I wish they would let us pay it all out and start fresh. I have taken 2 weeks since 2018, and I can rollover 5 weeks, but I am just never getting to use this without screwing over someone. I am annoyed at single user dependencies, but there are so many things that just shut down when I am out.

Two weeks in 3 years is not enough time off, Sophia! Although I understand the pressure to not leave everyone else in the lurch.
