We keep getting emails from the HR drones about how "management is noticing that people aren't taking as much vacation this year as they do normally" and that they encourage us to take vacation.

Like, what? What vacation? When I go on vacation, 75% of the time I still end up working. Fuck you. Pay me (so I can give it to the government).

At my old job they required us to have taken or at least booked in their system half our vacation time by July. This came about one year when corporate got bent over dry by an audit that revealed that if everyone cashed out their unused vacay time the 4th quarter profits (and associated bonuses for upper mgmt) would evaporate. That was a hilarious event because they tried to force sudden vacations by shutting down certain offices and royally pissed off some big customers.

Pro Tip: never take a non-sales position with a company where President and all VPs came directly from Sales. It was surreal to watch them make big decisions 100% based on public perception/image and 0% based on facts.

We've got something funny going on that no one is explicitly owning up to. But we're allowed to accrue Comp Time for over 80 hours per pay period; typically not a problem and I'll carry a few dozen hours throughout the year taking it here and there. But with Covid home work, and a shit tonne of stuff to do all of a sudden to hit some milestones, I was banking some serious time. Coupled with a mountain of use-or-lose annual leave, and suddenly they started moving my bi-weekly accrued comp time into paid OT.

Which is nice in a sense, I guess. I don't need the money per se, and at this point it just fuxxors my taxes for next year, but I suspect there's some ulterior motive along the lines of what you mentioned. But no one will actually admit it. Some day I'm going to corner someone and make them uncomfortable. Probably ask about this pay thing too.

I mean, I budget to cover everything I *need* taking into consideration only base income. Anything else above that is gravy. Which is nice, yes, but not necessary.

Need vs. Want, jawknee.

Like, I need you to shut the fuck up, but want you to take a long walk off a short pier.

See the difference?

There's a set of CL7 split 5-spokes in the Marketplace under TSX Parts... I think those look awesome on 1G TSX.

It's like a tail/body thing... I think they wiggle that part back into the spiral chamber of the shells, and that's what holds them in the shell... Not sure if it's a tail, or body, or some sort of weird satanic tentacle But it's kind of fuzzy looking too.

Just, fuckin' weird, man.

Nah man... Remember, Majofo *was* a moderator but got spanked because of a whiny bitchass dripping pussy faced mark trick. Crabman is still a moderator because crabs.

Totes different people.

Nothing new.

Past mid-way point of July already. Time is flying which isn't a bad thing given how messed up 2020 is. All good on your end?
