I scoop usually 2x a week in the indoor box. But he usually demands to go to the garage box when he needs to poop.

What!?!?! I have to do mine twice a day or it'll overflow. But, my cat is also about 3X the size of a normal one...

Yeah I did. Running tests for our Payroll Office. Having to run almost a full year's worth of pay periods in batch jobs. Not hard work, but tedious and time consuming.

I normally work 4:30 to 3 (well, "officially" 5 to 3), but I get every other Friday off using credit hours that I accumulate over 9 days.

I like it. Really cuts down on the need to use vacation time. Which is why I usually end up with "use or lose" time every year.

I'm just a mule and refuse to take any days off all year and then scramble the last two months to squeeze in all my PTO

That's kind of how I am. Usually take a day or two here and there. Very rare for me to take an entire week off. Probably only done that a couple of times in the past 11 years. I don't really have a backup person for some of the stuff I do, so that makes it kind of hard.

Absolutely same for me, if I have a day off, paid or not, the next day my workload is double or triple. Not worth the stress for me

Yep, at the very least, I'm logging in to check email when I'm off (if I'm home). I don't like surprises when I go back.
