"Down the tubes -- hear that one a lot. People say, "Ah, the country is going down the tubes."
What tubes? Have you seen any tubes? Where are these tubes? And where do they go? And how come there's more than one tube?
It would seem to me, one country, one tube. But is every state all of a sudden have to have its own tube now? One tube is all you need. But a tube that big? Somebody would have seen it by now. "Hey Joey! Get a load of these *****' tubes!"
you sir, are not amusing
Plus, the lad & lass decided they wanted to change rooms & I thought I should be here to referee.
and on top of that had a couple comp. days to use before the end of next week.
If I had that much vacation I'd definitely work 4 day weeks all summer, every friday off!Good morning. Took off yesterday afternoon and all day today. Why? It's about me and my dream of doing nothing.
Plus I have almost 8 weeks of vacation I have to use this year
Monday's too, maybe.
I only get 2 weeks, plus 2 floating holidays, so 12 days. I get it lump sum on the 1st of January, so that is nice, but 12 days isn't very much. I end up using it all on sports trips (Fridays off for a weekend hockey road trip, Twins day game next week, NFC championship game trip) and 3 days in November to take the whole week of Thanksgiving off for deer killing. After next year I'll get a 3rd week, which will be welcomed with open arms.You saying I ain't?
The only time I really had planned going into the year was a two week road trip in July (Kiawah!) and some time in March for the hockey tourneys and St. Paddy's day.
I get five weeks a year, which we now get on Jan 1. We used to be able to "bank" up to twice what we earned but the pencil pushers decided that was bad so we now have to use it all in the calendar year. Since my situation was murky going into this year I refused to take any more time last year so I had a couple weeks banked (would have received a lump sum if I had been voted off the island) going into '10. Plus we everyone got 5 personal days this year.
We get roughly the same here for vacation, but we can carry over up to two(?) weeks that have to be used before the end of March. I've only ever carried over a couple days in the past. I think it might be more this year. Don't ever let your employer purchase another bank. It's a real pain in the *.You saying I ain't?

I don't think my employer will ever be buying a bank. Sounds like that is a good thing.
Towards the end of the second game they showed the tubes (PVC pipe) carrying the freon from the rink to the truck (parked on the street a good distance away and 45 feet higher than the ice surface). They also showed the tubes going under the ice and explained that the white streaks were where the tubes ran.
