Essay21 2,385 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 20 vacation days, 10 sick days. But no one takes them all. It can't be done. Management would be looking to move you out if you did that. We have way to many clients for that. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 same deal in my spot, I can't really take all the days I have built up. I had to let a week expire last year, the HR manager refused to pay me out. lectured me about planning my time better. sure was obnoxious. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Most everyone in my department uses most-all their vacation. Not me though. I took 21 days last year. 5 of those are mandated via internal controls. Approx 11 days for my near death experience And of the 5 remaining maybe 1 or 2 were actual days off and not just "days I had to take off because I had other obligations". Currently have 18.5 vacation and 4 sick days banked. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 This topic is foreign to me. I just take off whenever I feel like. Actually though, I have been playing almost every single night while Bovada has this tourney series. Basically have played every day since last Friday aside from taking off Wednesday. Going to be doing that the rest of the month basically. I remember when I used to grind back when I lived in Atlanta though. There was one year where between poker and a few other jobs, I took only 5 days off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 New coffee system getting put in today at work. Exciting stuff. They have a little blurb on the infonet about how it'll be a few hours while they swap out equipment but they'll have coffee available in the time. And at the end there's a quote from our facilities guy: "I'm hoping everyone enjoys the new coffee," said Ron. (REAL NAME). Cracked me right the Fvck up reading that. He's a super nice reserved guy and it's just such a quintessential "Ron" quote. He's one of the few people I actually like here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Napa Lite 3,278 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Oh, I came here to post this: A few years ago at the tail end of a day spent drinking heavily one of my coworkers told me he had just inherited a couple of million dollars from his grandmother, who owned a bank. I have no idea how true this is. He certainly hasn't changed his lifestyle. Him and his wife just bought a new decent house, but not out of line for what they probably make, and he's been driving the same car forever. I don't know if he even remembers telling me. But it'd be nice to have that kind of security if true. Link to post Share on other sites

JubilantLankyLad 1,957 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Judging from this thread, if it's true, he's got a cellar full of rare and expensive bourbon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Napa Lite 3,278 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yeah, he mentioned putting most of it in a trust that they can't touch for years. But again, this was 1:30 am after drinking all night. He could have made it all up. Link to post Share on other sites

Essay21 2,385 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I doubt he put it in a trust he couldn't touch. More likely when he says he inherited it he means someone put it in trust and he has to wait. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 whenever a client dies, one of the beneficiaries always seems to be a total dumbass that instantly liquidates. very rare that they just don't touch the money. I have just been taking the RMDs on my stuff, and the cash went straight into a Roth IRA and my down payment. the bourbon was a setback however. Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I spend a surprising amour of time telling people that if they spend more than they make they'll eventually run out of money. You'd think that was obvious, but apparently it is not. Link to post Share on other sites

Napa_Don 688 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 You're right, the lady in the next row over who has a weasel laugh makes me way angrier.

Most people realize they made a mistake and step to the side, but this morning this fvck just blew past me bumping into me as I got off the elevator coming from the parking garage. Excuse you, I said to him. He didn't respond. Fvckin people man. Link to post Share on other sites
