only 5 for me. Including today.

Tomorrow and Wednesday are half-day offsite meetings.

Thursday is a full day in the office, maybe making maps?

Friday is telework.

and today just became a half-day. Not feeling well enough to stay here any longer.

Yay anxiety is through the roof today. Not just from this, from other stuff too. 

 

[civilrobot PE etc etc]

I trolled myself. Apparently, I set up an email reminder back in October that says Exam Results. 

So when I opened my email, I received a pop up that said Exam Results. 

Awesome.

 

[civilrobot PE etc etc]

Because in my infinite wisdom, I just knew that I would forget about it.

Saving PTO for skiing in January - it's supposed to rain today and tomorrow.

What is this saving PTO you speak of?

I'm usually use it or lose it. They're making a special exemption for me this year because of SWRQ.

I can roll over up to 120 hours of PTO from year to year without losing any. I won't lose any heading into 2020 and I'll start the year with like 70hrs.

my company also doesn't provide any sick leave. 

 

[civilrobot PE etc etc]

retirement emails weird me out. 

"My career at Acme, Inc started 35 years ago..."

My career at Acme, Inc started 27 years ago..."

I don't know if I can stay in one location for that long.

My company gives unlimited sick leave and we can carry over whatever we can accrue throughout a year.  it worked well, I got to take 2 weeks off right after my kid was born the day after the exam.

Mine doesn't provide sick time either, it's all one pot. I generally flex my schedule if I'm sick.

Same!

I've been with the same company since graduating, and will be hitting my 12 year anniversary in January. I've always told myself that I'll stay as long as it makes sense and I'm happy. There are definitely things I don't like about this company, but I really enjoy my projects and the telecommuting flexibility.  I don't see myself staying here for 30 years though. 

Edit: TOP AGAIN!

This is how @MadamPirate operates at work (probably). :rotflmao:

some folks in my office group hold onto the old culture where that's frowned upon. it's very frustrating
