MJ's little flock

I'm hoping to paint and set up the small bedroom as a study. It all depends on how long it takes me to smooth the walls. I might use undercoat as well because the plastering is so old. Byt it'll be nice to move the desk from the living room at last.

Ooooh! that's exciting too. Before and after pics please?

You can do it MJ! Only a few more hours then you are free!
Turn off your work phone, draw yourself a nice hot bath, pour yourself a glass of something nice and listen to your favourite music.

You've certainly earned some time off.

P.S. I'm looking forward to your coop build!

We're getting a half-hour early mark!

That sounds exciting, I look forward to seeing the pictures of how you changed the room

I make the list then forget to look at it.

Or realize, you forgot the list when you get to the store! That is the worst!

Good evening folks

I make lists, use outlook reminders, etc... It's the only way I can keep track of everything.

Appointments on my phone have been life changing.

Good evening MJ and everyone

Yes, lists are great as long as we don't forget them

Exactly!

It's the last day of work until February. There are five meetiings scheduled. I may hear news that the car is ready (if not I'll be without it until early January).

I can do this. I can do it. I'm doing it.

You got this!

I wonder what the leave entitlements are like in America? When I worked in the UK I got five weeks annual leave, which was pretty good! And I only recently learned that long service leave is an Australian thing!

I believe that depending on job initial annual leave in the US is 10 or 15 days to start.

My last position had unlimited leave but once you get high enough in an organization to have unlimited leave you can never take more than a week or so and still get the job done. They do that so if you leave the organization you don't have a huge bank of time for which they need to pay you. When I moved up to unlimited leave i had a huge bank of leave built up which I then lost. No bitterness here. Nope. None.

Chicken tax

I get annual leaves too. But they are a pain in the tail feathers to rake up! Just saying.

Ever try a "leave" blower?
