Morning Lodge.

If anyone else is interested in the Dead Pool, check out the thread and sent me a list by the end of today.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 120: How do you want to die?

I have 24 days of vacation I have to take before the end of the year or else I lose them...........:eek: We used to be able to carry over 40 hours. However, policy changed last year and we can no longer carry over any hours from year to year.

I have an anniversary coming up at work in which I will get another 5 days added to my PTO next year.

I know this sounds stupid but my employer provides way to much PTO as I will be approaching nearly 50 days of PTO next year. :o

That does sound stupid. You are annoyed that you get paid to take 50 days off? :confused:

Not annoyed. 50 days is awesome and very generous. Realistically and especially in my position it is very difficult to use all 50 days and since we have a use it or lose it policy I hate the concept that I might actually lose days that I cannot take off.

FWIW I will be here 5 years in October.

It happened to my aunt's ex husband. He deserved it because he effed over his hired help. He had to rebuild the engine of his Bobcat because of the sugar. I'm more inclined to believe what I've seen before I believe a website. ;)

Pouring a can of coke on the hood works to, there is enough acid in coke to eat away at the clear coat. Petroleum jelly under the windshield wipers...slices of bologna on the hood...sugar water in the wiper fluid...crack the lugnuts. The possibilities are endless.

My dad told stories about what they did when he worked third shift at Ford. They would take these big "stickers" (I don't know what else to call them, they're about 6"x6") and go out in the middle of the shift (about 2-3 AM) and plant a few of them on someone's windshield if they got ****ed off at that person. When you would go out the next morning, it had ~4-5 hours to set and adhere to the windshield, and it took forever to scrape off. I guess this stuff stuck to the windshield worse than the parking stickers we got at college that were supposed to last the year, and wound up sticking about 5 years. If you parked a foreign car in the lot, it was guaranteed that you weren't going to see anything out of that windshield for the forseeable future.

Ouch. In high school somebody put honey and marshmallos on my windshield. Twice. Winter and summer. Not fun.

Hi Lodge

I'll be using some of my massive accumulated time off this weekend to fulfill many lodge posters wishes and go kill some geese. A life long buddy and I are heading out to the South Dakota border, setting up a camp and preparing for goose hunting in the morning, dove hunting late morning - early afternoon, walleye fishing late afternoon - early evening. We may go goose hunting in the early evening if we didn't get our 5/day limit in the morning.
I'll be driving through gmann land around 4:30 Thursday afternoon.
I'll wave as I pass by :)

I'm in the same boat here, I get five weeks plus a week of personal time plus I carried over almost three weeks from last year. Since we can no longer carry over time I had to use it or lose it, though I manage to take most of it during the summer. :)

Our formula at work is pretty nice. I have over 18 years service so I get five weeks per year. The first of each month, I get another 16.67 hours added to my total. We can carry over one week past our anniversary date, but it has to be used within three months or lose it.
No way I'll ever lose PTO. Ever.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 120: How do you want to die?

Wow, slow news day here in tLodge.

Back from the Left Coast. Did a couple of loads of laundry, did some food shopping, caught up on a couple of shows I had recorded. But it was 90 degrees out and that means pool time. :)

Going out to dinner as it's too hot to cook.

I'm supposed to be going to the Cape for the weekend with my family, but now with this stoopid hurricane barreling towards us for Friday......I hope Earl takes a detour.
