So I have 12 days of PTO

I had no idea I had that much (I seriously thought I had way less). Now I'm annoyed with myself because I doubt I'll be able to use it all and it doesn't carryover. Plus its always a PITA to get days off because someone has to provide coverage and with the holidays coming up, and me forgetting, i probbaly get to play back up. Looks like someone is going to take some random days off.

Can you take a random day in the middle of travel?   That could be fun.

I don't have any where I'm going that I really want to stay (plus stay overs are hard to do with billing and all that). Lesson learned: be aware of your PTO balance. And this is good for me next year when we take 12 days off for our big vacay.

It's easier to pay attention to PTO when you only have 10 days total.  Whomp, whomp.

could you take them in hourly increments, or half days?

i usually save at least 8 hours of PTO for an hour here and there at the end of the year. if i cant use them, i can get it paid out ot me as long as i have at least 4 hours unallocated.

but i am lucky. we can keep track and plan PTO online.

Half days would be good if they let it.

I'm still shocked DH has had enough PTO to take a few vacation days, some sick time, and he'll be able to take a week to consult at the mill.  Not a single minute of that counts against paternity leave.
