I work all weekend :nope:

But, paying my dues so that I can have long weekends ftw if I move on up in the company.
Working in a retail store, or for one will usually mean that you will never have a traditional weekend of Sat+Sun.

:dealwithit:
No but if I move on to a leadership role (which I could after 1 year of working the floor since I have my degree already), I can totes enjoy salaried bennies.

Just got a cryptic email from my boss that we're getting Monday as a freebie holiday....

Not sure what that means doe. Hmmmm :notsure:
we were "given" monday and tuesday "off"

means mandatory use your own PTO the office is closed. Doesnt really matter as 80% of office isnt working and there is no real billable work, along with no one in the company left with any PTO after sucking on it to cover benefit draw over 6 months.
My company does this during the week of Christmas. It's annoying.. We're required to take four days of our PTO. Northrop did a shut down like that, but they gave it to us as holiday days and we only got 8 other paid Holidays (including Christmas and New Years) instead of the seemingly normal 11 total.. so that all balanced out.. This company only gives us 8 holidays during the year and forces us to take PTO or LWOP during that shutdown.

Morning ballz. Flying home from my vacation. Note to anyone flying: don't fly Spirit airlines. They bring the term Jewish to a whole new level.

Haha...

I flew Spirit one time from San Jose to Seattle... Pretty sure it was just a Cessna that was sent in for a custom stretch job like a towncar limo.

So good. Glad someone else was wasteful and bought them so I could keep my $3.99 in the market and get that easy 10% return.

Spirit is the worst experience I've ever had. And pro tip, when you add in all the shit you pretty much have to buy, it's no cheaper than any other airline.

:nope:

:nope:
I prefer Delta or JetBlue. 5/7 experiences, albeit more :waxer:

But you also don't deal with the :troywax: on the budget airlines such as Spirit

Ava chewed more stuff yesterday while I was at work :rage: Took a new approach and instead of getting visibly mad at her, I just completely ignored her for a few hours after I got home. Directed all my attention towards Kai and when I let them out for the bathroom made sure to only talk to him. Still trying to figure out why she's acting up. I did notice she's been eating her food much faster than usual, so maybe she's just hitting a growth spurt and is hurting/hungry from that. Gave her an extra cup of food this morning and she scarffed it down. We'll see how the house looks when I get home tonight.

How old?

Also does she have chew toys out and accessible during the day?
Crate her during the day?
