Vacation is what Lu & I will be doing starting the middle next week. It leads to warmer temperatures when it's cold here in the mid-Atlantic area. :D:D:D

Jim.......


BITE ME

The town's being invaded by the barmy army this week, so I'm taking Friday off to go watch the soap dodgers beat the locals in a friendly game of cricket. And I'm not chucking a sickie - it's a legit RDO. ;)

Barmy Army - Barmy Army. England cricket's unofficial 12th man. England cricket tours and tickets. The best fans in the world.
Chairman's XI match

I think I am going to be working friday. It's black friday and my shop is right next door to wally world and just down the mall. I think I will be driving Peggy friday

Holy Crap.

I get 40 days of vacation a year not including the 7 days of paid holidays.
Most employees are limited to retaining a maximum of those 40 days. If you don't use it you lose it. We used to be able carry whatever we don't use until you retire and you just take off how ever many days you have of vacation before your retirement day. People that accumulated vacation before the 40 day policy are limited to accumulating whatever vacate you had saved up when the new limit. My limit is 82 days of vacation and that's how many I have saved up. I could work only 4 days a week and still have 70 days at the end of a year.

Friend of mine worked at Apple Computer. They got 40 days a year AND after 8 years you had to take 4 weeks at once off with pay that is not considered part of your vacation time. He said they called it a sabbatical. You could cash in whatever vacation time you had stored up at your pay rate 1 week before the sabbatical. If you did not take your sabbatical by the 1st of December on your 8th year, you were not allowed on the Apple grounds until after January 1st. He said it was supposed to keep employees from getting job burn out.

We also get sick days, but you cannot use it for only one day, it only kicks in if you are sick more than one day and you have to prove you went to see a doctor. Not sure how that is supposed to work. Since I was put on Temporary Disability with my foot, I got full pay and did not use any of my sick days. I have 60 sick days.

Thank you, thank you. Be sure to tip your waitress. :D

I'm working Friday. It should be very quiet at my office.

Oi.......knew I was forgetting something on the ar pistol build....The dust cover assembly....

Just need mags and ammo, gas block, compensator, bcg and BUIS

I am usually a romantic comedy girl (hate romantic movies like Titanic and stuff) and Bad Santa doesn't seem like a movie I would like but I love it! Funny...

I think I have seen the movie.
Nipple lube will be moving on soon. Let's hope they think its funny.

When the kid comes in with his gift that he made is my favorite. I get the giggles thinking of that scene.

Woohoo! Water from above.

And it's not golden.... ;)

Morning Y'all.
We are waiting for the liquid from above to start here. Lets hope it's just rain

Morning bloke :)

Morning, y'all. Screw this weather. I'm ready for spring. Wish I could hibernate for a few months.

Morning Jim.

Screwy weather - nearly 50% humidity at 6:30 this morning.

G'day Jeff. We had a little rain around 4:30AM. It's really gonna rain hard today & tomorrow. Hopefully, it doesn't morph into s#*%.

One of the things I hope to do while in SoCal during the next week or two, is to do a little star gazing. It's not very good trying to do that in the city with all the light pollution. It's much better at our place out west, maybe not as good as where you live, Jeff. I also hear that there will be a meteor shower to watch while we're out west. Looks like I'm losing some sleep. :)

I love star gazing and I certainly am in a good spot to do it.

We've found that you see a whole lot of shooting stars when you start throwing back shots of schnapps. :)

What else do you see? :D
