SO...

In the next couple days, I have two doctor appointments.  I also have accrued a lot of vacation time (I think I get a total of 4 weeks a year, broken up in bi weekly increments) so I just decided to take a bunch of days off and have a stay-cation. 

I worked yesterday, Saturday the 18th.

Sunday 19th: regular day off

Monday 20th: regular day off

Tuesday 21st: taking vacation time

Wednesday 22nd: sick leave (dentist appointment)

Thursday 23rd: charity leave

Friday 24th: charity leave

Saturday 25th: Working

Sunday 26th: regular day off

Monday 27th: regular day off

Tuesday 28th: sick leave (doctor appointment)

Wednesday 29th: back to work regular schedule

Through my company, we can donate money to the United Way and if we do, depending on how much we donate, we get charity leave.  I get the maximum, 18 hours.  I'm using 16 this time.  I'll use the remaining 2 sometime before the end of the year. 

I'm going in Saturday because I'm the only one who works Saturdays and I feel responsible for it.   I've been working Saturdays since February 1997, so I do feel it's kinda "my' day, by responsibility.   Also with no one working Sundays anymore, that would leave two days without anyone there, and that's just a bit too long I think.  Too much work could accrue.  So I'm going in one day.

But still, a nice little stay-cation.
