Good call, bbw.

Didn't you just have a time when you were sick and couldn't miss work? How did you get PTO now?

She worked OT while she was sick.

Five days sounds great. Use the time to catch up on your TT posting!

Dayhiker, you work for an engineering firm, don't you? Do you actually get vacation and sick time? We don't. Its all one thing rolled together - Personal Time Off.

Spirit - can you roll your time over until next year? Why take time off now if you don't have plans?

Whoa!!! Hold it right there. You can say whatever about "W" but lay off the first lady. She is a class act.

And the hottest thing to sleep in the white house since Jackie K. (not counting any young meat "Slick Willy" snuck in)

Smiley, we're a small firm. We don't keep up with it. If I want to take a day off, I do. If I'm sick, I stay home. If I happen to sleep late (I usually arrive by 6), no one says a word. My boss really wanted me to go to a conference at ASCE in Virginia this weekend. I mentioned that I've worked a bunch of weekends and want to take my son hiking and no problem. That, even though I took off from a Friday, to the following Monday (11 days) about a week and a half ago. It's a great system as long as you're small and no one abuses it. Everyone is so appreciative of the system, or lack of a system, that we probably don't take enough time off for fear of abuse.

the Eaglettes are incendiary!!! Only the gay guys at the stadium watch the game. The rest are staring at the eaglettes with their binoculars.

well I was hanging out with this priest dude and we had lunch together. (you'd all like him, he tells funny jokes and can quote the LOR books word for word) We got talking bout backpacking and hiking and I came around to tell him I had to break my plans for the weekend so had nothing to do for the next five days. He told me of a route I could go "city hiking" around some place called wolf lake just up route 41 north a bit. I might try that out :)
