Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
All right, I have uploaded some receipts that I hope will get a charge approved so I don't have to pay back my FSA, because seriously. And I just called the pharmacy because my insurance will not approve 90 day prescription refills, for that would be too convenient.
Adulting gold star?
Just got hit in the face with my iPad because a passing truck startled a kneading Loki.
You need to get hold of their new version, the iPadded.
Ha, got the tomorrow morning thing done today. I think.
Do not feel like going to the gym now...
Timelies all!
Yay, I used the treadmill today. Let's see if I can use it another time this week.
Gold stars all around!
I think the last straw fell; elimination of separate sick leave without an increase in PTO.
Just sent an intemperate one liner to my retiring boss.
I am feeling really glum about my career, a direct result of someone I knew when she was a 23 year old intern just getting a department-head level job at Emory. I feel like every job I get is a step down - I started at a top academic research library, then went to a big state school, and now I'm at a (good) public library. Every single one of those moves was due to moving for mr. flea's work, and then having to find a new job in whatever city we ended up. But I feel like I'll never have a good job again, and I'm getting past my prime.
I think the last straw fell; elimination of separate sick leave without an increase in PTO.
As in you had 10 sick days and 10 vacation days and now have 20 PTO? Or like you had 10/10 and now have 10? Because the latter is totally a quittable offense. (Something way less egregious, for which they after protest gave us a 1% raise for, is what caused the mass exodus at my last job)
The latter. And the sick leave was still accruable( I had a ridic amount), whereas PTO is not.
And this in an environment where the majority of the staff have 5 weeks leave+ 5 weeks sick, no cap on the latter and something like 6 months on the former.
If I am expected to work with that differential, they can expect to work with a raging, seething ball of resentment. Which will end well for no one.
That sucks, sarameg. Bah.
And flea. I understand why it's happened, but it's a drag.
