Monday Thread presented by Should Have Taken PTO
What I said... I should have just taken this week off. Work has been absolute shit fucking sandwich.

I took my first pto days of the year starting tomorrow and am definitely feeling the pressure to not take them. Let’s see what happens

I'm kind of glad I didn't take vacation this week. It's so dead, which has been great for catching up on some stuff I've ignored while other stuff popped up.

I hate empty office days, but that’s because most of my work doesn’t involve other people so I’m stuck by myself most of the time.

I also should have taken the week, but I have two (2) days of PTO left that I can schedule whenever. I’m already off the last two weeks of December (clocked PTO for that at the start of the year) and have two additional days that I can take. It sucks that no PTO days roll over, but I have a metric ton of sick time that keeps rolling over!

I have a family dinner tonight with the same people I am thanksgiving-ing with. I kinda don’t want to go because work has been stressful today but I’m looking on the bright side - how lucky am I to have family so close, and I can spend a lot of time with them!

Glad that you can see the bright side!

I wish to god I had PTO left to spare, I need this to be a short week. American Airlines decided to shit the bed on me like they do about half the time I have to use them yesterday.
So I spent 5 hours in the Vegas airport and ended up getting on Southwest going through Dallas to a different airport that I’d have to drive home from.
That flight also got delayed and barely made my connection, had to haul ass through the airport to make it. Finally made it and got to enjoy a nice 2 hour drive to get home at midnight.
100% worth it to get to experience the F1 race in person though, even if I got zero sleep since Thursday lol.

Yeah. My boss took this week off so I’m on. But he gave me good time for Christmas so I’m not too mad.

I am abstaining from Thanksgiving and it feels so good!
My work has been steady though

Why?

So Thanksgiving 2004 I did not get to spend it with my family but was the only one at my grandfathers hospital bed while he passed…. Soured me on the whole holiday… I usually duck out of it anyway

That’s a very understandable reason. I have issues with Father’s Day on a similar basis.

So I got me a frozen pizza and I might just play CFB25 while listening to some music the entire day….
If you haven’t played it the game is really addictive
Oh but I did get my cats a can of tuna so they can celebrate

I’m addicted to Balatro and Minecraft, don’t need more
3
u/Benjilikethedog Nov 25 '24
I have never played Balatro but I like Minecraft… just peaceful construction.
I only really play games I can listen to other stuff while playing them… I have been meaning to catch up on Dungeon Crawler Carl so I might do that….
Highly recommend btw for Sci-Fi/ Fantasy fans

Balatro is addicted. It’s poker with cheating for fun

I’ve got a mandatory work Christmas party the day after thanksgiving during the Utah vs UCF game.

u/TubaFalcon Air Force Falcons Nov 25 '24
You should tell them that they need to have the Utah/UCF game on
3
u/Prizoner321 Utah State Aggies • Utah Utes Nov 25 '24
I’ll make sure to tell whoever wins the 50” tv to put the game on

u/FSUalumni Florida State Seminoles • Mercer Bears Nov 25 '24
That seems like cruel and unusual punishment to me.
joking and also I’m not your lawyer and this isn’t legal advice

Our customer meeting last week went really well! They seemed impressed with the prototype of the product we're building for them, and we got some useful feedback to incorporate into the next iteration of the design.
Since getting back today though, all I want to do is lock myself in a conference room to finish some documents they've requested, because I've been pulled in a dozen different directions dealing with issues that popped up while I was gone. Plus our other program manager is out today, which leaves me as the only one that can address any of them.
