We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Greek yogurt: my stomach is still jacked up from some combo of the food poisoning and the antibiotics. I didn't quite finish my course because I misplaced three pills in the move (found them, cleverly placed in the proper pill case).

I have been consuming probiotics and yogurt like it's my job, and even drank some kombucha (though it gave me stomach cramps, so I'm not anxious to do that again). Tired of constant low-level nausea that gets worse when I eat anything. Stupid digestive system. Stupid EDS.

I got the offer letter! They have a sucky PTO policy (2 weeks plus one week sick leave) but the owner seemed up for discussing reinstating unlimited PTO, which they used to have before one person fucked it up for them. Anyway, am nervous but excited.

Hurray, Lisa!! Great news. I hate it when one person ruins the nice things for everyone.

Yay Lisah! That is a remarkably sucky PTO policy indeed unless they also like, close for a week at Christmas and in the summer or something.

They do not! They do give you your birthday off though. Whoopie

How are the logistics, Lisa? Remote? Hybrid? Convenient to home if you have to go to office?

Sometimes, I actually miss an office. The commute (via metro) into Georgetown for my last job was a pain in the butt, but I liked my actual office and a good portion of the people who worked there.

Yeah, that's what my company does, except they frame it as three weeks! Which you can use for either sick leave or PTO. And sucks for you if you get sick, I guess. I get another week next August, at least.
