Thank you, Corporate America!
July 16, 2008I just found out today that I already have 95 hours of Personal Time Off accrued. 95 HOURS!! For those of you who can’t divide 95 by 8, that is a little over 11 DAYS of paid vacation. This may not sound like such a novel idea to any of you, but for a girl that’s used to working jobs that only give you 5 days of paid vacation AFTER you’ve worked there for a year, this is HUGE!!!
Now, where to spend it….
FRANCE!!!
Would it be really mean to tell you I got 22 days of paid vacation as soon as I started working? Corporate Scotland may have its faults, but LOTS of vacation is certainly not one of them. Just means more time to travel!
Yes, it would be mean.
But yeah, FRANCE! Plus, the 11 hours doesn’t expire at the end of this year, and I get to keep adding to it w/ the stuff I get next year. So by the time we go, I’ll have like 20 days. Suh-weet!
11 days? That’s almost a fortnight! You should come to Atlanta. You can bring Pippin.
Paid vacation?? What is that?
Billy–I’m goin to call you “Squire Bill” from now on. Because, you know….the last time someone used the word “fortnight” in a sentence, it was the RENAISSANCE! Oh and Atlanta? (Or should I say HOT-lanta?) I’ve been there before. The valuable Vacay time should be spent exploring new worlds, boldly going where no one has gone before!!! (Speaking of which, keep your eye on the blog next week. SUH-WEET adventure coming up!) That being said, YOU should come to SEATTLE! Pippin welcomes you…
Kristiane–I know, novel concept isn’t it? Who knew?
Petting Pippin is an actual number on my “must do before I die” list.
ah…”SUH-WEET” adventure? Aren’t you going to some conference “meeting” thing?
I’ll be waiting for those posts.
you’re too funny!
