I get 5% extra per year saved of sick leave on my pension, up to 2 years, adjusted to percent of the year left of sick leave. But my job is fun and people tend to want to work.

I bought a 5 piece set of these at Costco a few weeks ago and they are amazing.

My union got me more money in a single year than I will pay in dues for my entire career in at least 3 separate years in the 6 years I’ve been working for my employer.

I get leave each year that is slightly more than 20 percent of my work hours.

Unions are amazing for workers.

Just made me check mine. I’m in a good union and earn 2.46 hours of sick per 40 hours of work and 3.28 hours of leave per 40 hours of work. A year of work is 2498 hours for us for reference.

I also get 48 hours of other leave, 16 hours of leave per each of 13 holidays, and I can take my overtime as 1.5 hours of leave per hour worked instead of pay. We also get 240 hours parental leave for a new child.

Leave accrues whenever we are in a paid status on straight time.

Grab the pixel buds pro? Those are 200.

At my previous job I did hospital triage. Once a guy walked up to me and said “My wife isn’t doing well, I think she’s dead”. He told me she had been sick for several days and when she started doing really badly he had to get his neighbor to help carry her to the car. He said he didn’t want to bother the fire department.

He had driven from his home on the eastern fucking shore of Maryland to DC. 100+ miles. Told me he was going to be staying at his house in Maryland because he didn’t like his house in DC. She came out of the passenger seat and stayed in a seated position and we put her in an unstaffed room.

Show the cow a fire and bring it to the table.

If you have asthma don’t fuck around with inhalants. I’m a paramedic and I’ve seen too many people lately with asthma not responding to their daily inhaler (advair,breo,etc…) plus their nebulizer at home with Albuterol and ipratropium. Last shift I had two people who were dying from asthma exacerbations at home, one I managed to reverse with what I have and she left the ER 8 hours later and the other I prevented an intubation and he still went to the ICU. There’s too many irritants in the air for you to add more to yourself. Stick to edibles.

Used to see these people with multiple prescriptions for Percocets. They would use one for themselves and sell all the rest as individual pills to pay for treatment.

American healthcare system turned little old ladies with cancer into hardcore drug dealers.

I forgot to do my laundry until 2300 last night. I’ll be going in to work on less than 4 hours of sleep. I’ll try to get a nap in.

My understanding is that is commuter distance to affordable living up there in Canada

Did you do an H.Pylori test? Might be hard since it’s a fecal matter culture, but that’s treatable now.

Of course. I also take almost a month’s worth of vacation every year. The way my shift schedule rotates I can often take a single day off and go away for more than a week, making it easy to accrue leave if I’m only slightly picky with my schedule. The last few years I’ve started to pick up skiing.

I was sick for several weeks last year, which sucked but my sick leave covered it easily. That will get me 5% on my pension per year accrued at retirement and I’m still on pace to get a year. Partial years are counted but that’s the easy number to remember

During the entirety of the pandemic we obtained free leave for a positive COVID test for the duration of the illness.

Non Union people are so abused you think this is unethical.

One of our leave types pays out in March any hours over 96 if we don’t ask to carry it over to the next year. We can take our overtime pay as leave (at 1.5 hours leave to 1 hour worked), and bonus holiday pay as leave.

This year the local negotiated a cost of living increase and eliminating the bottom two step increases, resulting in an approximate 14 percent pay bump for most employees. I also received a promotion this year.

I banked hundreds of hours of leave earlier this year from overtime and holidays that will payout in March next year 26 percent higher than when I worked it. I’ve done this every year I have promoted, and we are expected to do this since it is one of the ways we can burn our leave totals without taking off. If I had been really smart I would have carried over my leave from 2022 so it pays out next year, and I would have seen a single paycheck next year that was equal to half my years base pay last year.

When that pays out I will still have nearly 6 months of leave banked.

Your employer can afford to pay you. Make them pay you.

Working a second overtime 24 hour shift for my second 48 on 24 off in a row. I’m fairly tired and going to take a nap. I don’t get home until 6pm tomorrow since I go right to class from work, then have to turn around immediately to go back to work at 4 am.

Lithobreaking maneuver.

This one is fun thanks

I am very happy with my boox note 2. Use it to read books, manga, and take notes in OneNote for classes.
