With the car keys.

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.

Grab the pixel buds pro? Those are 200.

But to add to the irony, a roof is designed to keep water out of the house, as that is it’s primary job. If the roof is burned off enough that a downpour can put the fire out the only thing in there that isn’t a charred soggy mess is the foundation. This guy has lost everything he has and he’s just watching everyone else celebrate someone who was an asshole to him.

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 need that sapphire stuff for my watches to survive my work environment.

I ended up hating the books by the end. It felt like no one was keeping Weber’s need to info dump in check. He also let his tendency to write bad guys with no redeeming qualities get out of hand. It felt like a complete drag at the end as when the political situation escalated the tech gap meant that there wasn’t as much risk for Manticore.

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.
