Thanks Kizza .. she was a beauty
But they say that death is one the only certainties in life
IOLANTHE oh my god sounds like you have really hurt yourself ... if you cant weight bare ..... which bare bear is it lol and its not even late lol
You really dont need to fall down stairs just to have an excuse to put your feet up ... perhaps resist that urge and just .. ask C to hang out the laundry
.. glad the nurofen did the trick .. hope youre keeping it elevated .. and is it alternate heat and cold packs for a sprain .. .. take it much much easier .. so I shall look at for more IO posts

Swelling's gone down a bit this morning, Sky, and I could weight bear yesterday but the knee is still not right, I have to be careful walking and up & down stairs. I'm drying washing indoors at the moment, but looking at the sky and sunshine today I might just ask C to put some out on the line for me.
You know what they say in the old wills: "There's nothing so certain as death, and nothing so uncertain as the time thereof"! Applies to us all.

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

Technically they give it, they just don't let you use it. Been capped at the maximum for about three years now. Boss is retiring this month, so we'll see if his replacement is better or worse. Could take a while to replace him, since for some weird reason we have trouble hiring people. It's a mystery why.
Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

Maybe it's that one temp who, for some reason - it's the darndest thing, really - always gets asked, "How do you like it here?"
And then he quickly looks left and looks to the right, and hisses, "Fly, you fool! Fly while you still can!"
(j/k; I'm designing fictional scenarios at Sorus' workplace.)
The leave thing sounds exasperating. I dunno.
I had a good day... I think one of my tutoring students rocked out!
Think we've passed some kind of a "tipping point" where now I can just plain tell her "okay, this is what we're going to do to solve this problem, and this is how we're going to do it, and this is the kind of problem it's analogous to that you already know how to do..." and she grabs hold of math concepts & methods.

Woke up and discovered that my floor had turned into a lake overnight. Not an upgrade. Couldn't figure out where the mess was coming from, but was relieved that it had not come out of a cat. (Always the first thought when stepping in Yuck first thing in the morning.) Had to go to work because there is literally no one who could cover for me. Asked to leave early due to emergency. Had to stay five hours. Going to catch hell for it tomorrow, but you know what, the last time I missed work - for any reason - was in October of 2015. I'm not going to feel guilty about it. Not very guilty, anyway. Probably.
Anyway, there's a broken pipe in the wall and I'm waiting for the plumber.

I'm terrified today. I've seen something I've never before seen in my life and I honestly don't know what to think about my life anymore.
So I got up this morning, did my normal routine of showering, brushing my teeth, eating cereal and a very strong coffee when I looked out of my window and up at the clouds... and what do I see? Blue.
I don't know what this blue background is where our clouds always are; furthermore there's this bright yellow thing in the blueness... it hurts to look at and I don't understand what's going on.
Help me.

Sounds like you have some leverage as employees to demand to use your holiday time. What are they going to do, fire you? And unless your job involves monitoring newborns or keeping the space/time continuum in balance, it cannot be so important that you have to go without a break for years at a time.Sorus wrote:Technically they give it, they just don't let you use it.

Tell your boss you are taking a week or two off, give a month's notice, and then take the time off. Encourage your work mates to do likewise.
