Use it or lose it.
Playing hookey from work today. :)
I went to bed last night still fatigued and feeling like crap...so when the alarm went off at 5:00am, and I lay there for a moment thinking about how tired I still was, how I still was feeling a bit under the weather, about standing out in below zero weather putting gas in my car, and how much PTO I had left to use before I lose it all at the end of the year, only to start up with 4 weeks of paid time off again on the 1st...
Yep. No brainer. Picked up the cell, called into HR voicemail, left the message that I was't coming in, turned off the alarm, snuggled back into bed and slept until just after ten. *Aaah.*
That's the beauty of where I work. As long as I've been there, when you call in and leave a message that you're not coming in that day, you don't have to say why. You just say, "Not comin'" and that's it. No calls from management, no getting crap about it the next day, nothing.
I know when I've got it good.
