In August TB will be our only source of income. And I'll be paying for Obamacare with a fresh baby. If I don't find something. So I'm a little worried too.
Actually the 6 hunnit runs out next month so TB won't be a thing, just regular funemployment.

Father's Day this weekend, going to have our parents come over for a pool party. We are preparing schnitzel, potato salad, adding a leafy like Greek I think, and ordering pizza, MIL is baking dessert I worked three night shifts this week and picked up a fat paycheck for three somewhat busy weeks of work so we are going to on Margaret the cleaning lady before everyone comes... the house is a mess and my wife and I don't feel like scrubbing toilets and floors. It should be a fun time . My dad likes his scotch whiskey so I'll go pick up a nice bottle and more beer, we will probably get

Sounds like a fun time. We are going to Destin, FL for the week. We will leave tomorrow morning, stop over in Birmingham tomorrow night and then be there for a week. I took off MOnday/Tuesday but couldn't swing the rest of the week as it's quarter end which is in sales. It's too bad as I have zero shot at getting a commission check so I just have to pretend to give a shit about a quarter end push. should be fun. This will be my first time leaving the state really since February, I think the longest I've been here consecutively since like... 2013.

This is me. I'm not at the 500 hour level, but if we had unlimited rollover, I'd be rolling 200+ hours this year I imagine.[user not found] wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 10:00 amShe loved her job and really didn't have anything else going on in her life. Not how I go about things but it sorta made sense for her.
has way less vacation time than me and I'm not all about just taking off for the sake of taking off.

I hardly ever used all of my vacation time. I usually forfeited a few days every year. They encouraged you to take it but looked down on you when you did. Company would hire private detectives to follow you around if you requested multiple weeks and such.D Griff wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 9:34 amDude...

Yeah sucks but there are perks to ZFG work feels. Is FL closing down the beaches again?

I have heard that too... That would sort of suck but we'll see. At least it'll be a change of scenery.Tarspin wrote: ↑Fri Jun 19, 2020 10:56 amYeah sucks but there are perks to ZFG work feels.

I don't understand the beach thing, that is the last place I'd be worried about. Eating at a restaurant is somehow according to the US .gov but being outside on a vast beach is somehow
