Okay, so my supervisor just came into my office to inform me that I had three personal days that had to be used by 12 December.

(!!!!)

Guess who's getting a loooooong Thanksgiving break? Oh, yeah, that would be /me/. (This couldn't be more perfect, since Jennifer and I decided we couldn't afford to fly... and since we have to hit both NJ and RI, we'll be faced with some /serious/ driving time.)

AND I'm asking for 12 December off in order to do some holiday shopping and preparations. AND she said I could take the day after Christmas off if I wanted it. AND this Wednesday I get my first 80-hour check since June. (I'll be RICH!)

So who's happy? Yep, that would be me, too.

Excellent! Congratulations. Enjoy that time off.

Man! I didn't get vacation time till I'd been here six months. The bastards! I'm glad your bosses are better that way. :)

Well, we don't get vacation for six months. We /do/ get three personal days a year, but I just assumed that we wouldn't get any (or maybe one) since we started so late in the year.

Color me surprised.

(The day-after-Christmas thing will be unpaid... but it was up in the air whether I would be able to take it, since I'm last on the totem pole and we have to have coverage.)

Wait - wait - .... - I think I have a guess...

Is it YOU? Did I guess right?

So does that mean you'll be spending Christmas away? Will you get to see your family? Does Jen know about hers yet? Ooh I NEED MORE INFORMATION HERE!

1. YOU'RE RIGHT!!
2. We will probably spend Christmas away.
3. But maybe not with family. We'll be seeing family at Thanksgiving.
4. What are you doing for the holidays?
5. Would you like to go to Disney?

Congrats. Color me green with envy. I never get that much time off!

And thank goodness for 80hr checks too. Woo hoo!

Yeah - I can't believe it happened. I mean, we get three personal days a year... but I didn't think they'd give me all of them. (I only started at the end of last month!)

Lucky me!

Yeah, thats awesome. We accumulate time, but my problem is more in the usage than accumulation. We're alaways so busy that I can never really find a good time to take vacation. :(

From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Yeah - I figure I should enjoy it while I have limited clients.

I have already had to work Labor Day, and the ten day rotation I work falls on Thanksgiving and Christmas. As far as I know, I will have to work both holidays. But maybe the ground will freeze. No, wait, I am in the deep South. NO SNOW! No ice. I may have to resort to a bomb scare. It could work.

Did you see any moose up there in Canada, aye?

From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Dude, that sucks. And no, no moose. No Canadian Geese, either. I want my money back.

Not Fair!

I don't get to take vacation till after 6 months, just like at FM. Although at least I accrue them each pay period, rather than yearly, so I won't be "borrowing."

Also good is that unlike at FM the day after T-giving is holiday.

I wonder if the weather will clear up enough to bike again this year. Are you up to biking when it's in the 40's?

Yeah, I don't get to take vacation until 6 months, and I can't take peace leave until 1 year, but I guess I get the personal days right away. HOW WEIRD. And I am also accruing vacation days now. SCORE.

I have the day after Thanksgiving off as a paid holiday. Life is good. And if I'm lucky, I'll never have to be on call for any of the holidays. Blarg!

I'm not so sure about biking in the 40s. Brrrrr!

I suggest biking in the 40's with the promise of a stiff drink after.

Date: 2003-10-28 10:20 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] judecorp.livejournal.com
Well, I'm definitely up for the stiff drink! The bike ride... maybe - as long as it's not a long one. (Brrrr.)

Jen's family is from Jersey. She's from Bergen County, but we'll be Turkeying in South Orange (I think that's it... she'll correct me if it's not).

Will you be Turkeying in Jersey?

Well, I don't know the details yet, BUT, the 29th (of November) is a 60th Anniversary party for my grandparents, and Ms. Jennifer and I will be in attendence. We will probably arrive in RI on Friday afternoon/evening, and will leave RI that Sunday. Exciting, right?

Wanna try to hook up?
