The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[Haven]

20 years at my current job. They tried to lay me off 12 years ago, but I refused to leave.

I'm 60 days at this new job.

The longest I was with any company was almost 12 years. In the 11 years since then I have been in three different places with 5 different employers.

And here I was feeling pretty good at hitting 5 years with my employer...

5 year anniversary for my current too. Transferring out (2/28) into the new Dept. I'll lose my 3rd week I gained this year. Gonna try and burn it week before I swap. I guess I lose what I never had before?

 

[Ruger_Ronin]

I think the rest of us will settle for replicas if you’re offering.

I got 5 on it!

What's good in the hood all? Busy morning running about. I need a post lunch nap.

Are they still paying you? LOL

7 years was the longest I stayed with an employer, but then I got laid off. In my field, staying with one company too long is actually detrimental to the career. Have to go where the responsibilities and money improve, which more often than not means moving employers. It's a PITA, especially when PTO and things like that are constantly reset.

This is true. I just passed 25 years with my company but do have about 30 days pto to compensate for my lack of career progression

Somehow I got conned into cheesy fries and a chocolate shake. I'm such a sucker.

Problem is, I still gotta afford materials.

You have trees, right? Manpower with tools is all you need from there unless you want fancy cement floors and such

Good move, I keep letting my grandkids think they talk me into this kind of stuff when I really love it.

Damn, same company different department and you are losing vacation? That's unusual in my experience.

Yeah that's weird. I would ask about this!

 

[Leadeye]

I would say that she conned him into buying the cheesy fries and then conned him out of them.

Snowing yet in Canada?

 

[Benp]

Hi KJ!

 

[Leadeye]

Cold rain here in the GSF

 

[RustyHornet]

Been coming down steady for the last few hours. Getting slick on our lot… heavy wet snow so far…

 

[wtburnette]

Not supposed to start here for a few hours I believe.

 

[KJQ6945]

It was about 60 here this morning, now in the 40’s. We’re supposed to get ice and sleet. Yay!

We hit 60 around 3 or 4pm yesterday and it fell slightly when it started raining, but it's been dropping since this morning. Continuing to rain. Should turn to ice/snow around 4pm, according to predictions.

Snowing here…
