Thanks guys for making me feel better about skipping that meeting (was able to pack one box, but I was able to catch up on a little bit of work).
And PPL = Paid Personal Leave. They have sick/personal/vacation all lumped into one category at my new company, but I lost a week when I started due to seniority/new employee/etc., so I'm still trying to get used to having less time than I expected. BUT! I get to roll over way more time that I was at other companies, so it kinda balances out? And if I work mre than 40-hours, instead of getting OT (which I usually do), if I have a vacation day or something that week, I can just use the worked hours instead of PPL. So I can kinda play the system, as long as I plan a week or two ahead of time.
