Didn't realize you had a partner and that you both go back and forth all the time.

The video (lizard/cowboy hat et al) wasn't much, however, the android commercial was too funny!!!

Unfortunately for Karen, she knew last night that she had five dogs to walk once she got to the clinic this morning. About the time all that green was over us!! : (

Good afternoon!
Only one day left until my extended weekend! Since i'm skipping school for a personal day Monday, professor cleared it. Then no school Tuesday so I'll be working all day. Art show opening tonight at school some well known photographers are having a showing, so that's exciting!

I get to switch to working only 4 days a week from now till the end of the year. I still have 15 unused vacation days and they are use or lose and we can't cash them out. Tomorrow starts my 1st of those vacation days.

I think it's so wrong of companies to force you to use or lose your earned vacation days. Hope they are good about letting you off, when you do ask to use them.

I wish we could cash them out but he won't let us. Other than that my boss is super cool and the easiest person on the planet to work for. I take my days whenever I want and he works around it. I could take t straight weeks off but I know that puts him in a bind so I'm just taking extended weekends.

I don't get vacation days... the perks of being the only part timer in an office :eek: But i'm ok with that as long as you odnt call me a "temp" that's a filthy word I've been working here 3.5 years and I have been around longer than my current boss and our previous boss, i'm no "temp" just a full timer in training. I do know we let people cash in vacation days (one of the perks of used to working in HR, I worked in sales too pretty nice to get the full spectrum of things!) we don't accumulate like apparently some schools let teachers do, a coworkers wife has 5 years saved up right now!! (aka retire then be paid for 5 years) How did you pile up so many days? no vacations at all ever? hose probably would have been handy in working the 2 jobs, no?

That is how you initiate change. It wouldn't be you putting him in a bind, it would be his vacation policy.

Yeah same here. The last company I worked for would let us cash them out. But now I have to use all of them with this company. I'm the only one on my job too so it's gonna be hard to take 4 weeks off before the years up.
