29 years!, wow. We made the same change. Since we didn't take away previously accrued time, the employees seemed kind of neutral about the switch.

How long have you been with your company? We switched to ?unlimited? time off a few years ago, which is really just a balance sheet change for companies and puts the requirement to be sure to take time off on the person. I?ve been with my company almost 29 years so I say I have 5 weeks pto and try to take that amount off (I am very good about it!) but when I hit 30, I plan on upping that to 6 weeks.
I like to benchmark against other companies that still have defined vacation or sick time.

Good Morning, it sure feels like Thursday but Wednesday it is. It's great to have lots of time off, one thing I do miss about my old job for sure. Now we get two weeks from year 1-5 then it goes to three from like years 5-10. I hope some day that is improved.

Finally, the middle of the week. It looks like I'll be taking half days on some Fridays and then still have to figure out when to take 5 more days off after that. I get 6 weeks and one day off each year and even with all the time I've already taken I still have some left and it's use it or lose it. I might not be working all that much in December since I already have time off scheduled from earlier in the year. LOL.
Has anyone heard about the Cheshire, CT Special Education teacher who posted a rant on her supposed private group Snapchat over the weekend threatening to kill or beat-up anyone who voted for Trump? I understand people are upset that Trump won, but holy **** some people are really going crazy.
Whether you agree with who was elected or not you do not go on social media threatening to kill people because of who they voted for. The parents of the students at the school are up in arms about this. The teacher has potentially lost her job and has probably blackballed herself from teaching due to what she said. I personally didn't like Trump or Harris, and I voted for an independent that was on the ballot, but I sure the heck am not going to threaten to kill anyone because Trump won, nor would I do that if Harris won.
QOTD: Since having WLS what kitchen device have you used more now than you did before WLS? I would have to say my Instant Pot. I make everything from hardboiled eggs to yogurt and everything in between. It's like a set it and forget it. Saves so much time for me.
B: 2 hard boiled eggs with ham
L: leftover tacos (yes I gave in and got tacos yesterday)
D: bok choy soup
Have a great day everyone!!!

I think Shock wave also does a similar thing with creating micro injuries.

Have they done any dry needling? When my shoulder was healing, they would to that when my pain was high. It sucked that day and the next day but did help after that. It was explained to me as acupuncture (the needles) meets electricity and the electricity creates micro injuries that the white blood cells rush to heal so it boosts your immune system. I found it very useful

Good afternoon everyone,
it's been a very busy day so far. PT, Walmart, and an X-ray on my shoulder. My pain levels are atrocious. I'm an inch away from crying at any point. Just so so exhausted from it. Today's PT was pretty simple. Heat, tens unit and he tried some manipulation to the tendons to loosen them up. Ouch! My back and legs is also ouch.
oh well. Life is life.
The,rest of the day should be pretty easy going. I do have laundry but may wait until tomorrow. I've got a dragon to make that I just got the supplies for today. An order from a friend for a set in anodized aluminum that is also sitting in the mail box right now,
QOTD: I don't drink and never have. The most I've had is a ****tail with dinner but the last one of those was 15 years ago. I've never been drunk in my life. I'm just not a fan. My late uncle was an extreme alcoholic (and drug addict). It taught me a lot. I am in no way against people drinking...it's just not for me. I smell it and smell my uncle, I can't unlink it in my brain.
food is ehh.
eggs cheese and coffee
chicken, popcorn and 2 pretzels...oh and 1/3 of a cucumber
dinner is unknown.
dad joke time.
That sounds delicious. I always use an oven bag and think it keeps it moister.
