I hate you.

Work is on for the rest of the damn year.

I need to take a break. As of my last pay stub, I have accrued 216.38 hours of vacation. I will pass the maximum of 240 hours by years end (and will lose anything over that on December 31st).

I guess that's what I get for not taking one since 2001.

To be fair though... I felt guilty about taking a vacation when I've missed so much work due to surgery.

You should ask your boss for permission to not feel guilty about that. You might even get it!

I'm hot on your heals Bio, as of last paycheck I have 203.79 hours and will be in the same boat as you if I don't take some time off soon. Unfortunately I'm on a hot project that needs to deliver at the end of June so no vacation for us until after that.

I really enjoyed the Kill Bill movies. I'll have to rent them next time the wife goes out of town.

Or you could borrow them, I would have no problem lending them to you.

Last I checked I was somewhere around 270 hours...

I took a LOT of vacation last year (to me anyway) and still lost some at the end of the year.

bio, Eddie, RD:

TAKE A FLIPPIN' VACATION!!!!!

Just my opinion, anyway.

I'm planning on it.

I'm thinking of going back to South Dakota for a couple of weeks. I'll probobly hang out in the Black Hills area and play tourist.

Then again, I need to paint my house and have yard work galore... so I might just stay home and do that.
