I have lots of work to get done today and our system is being so slow. I ask for one little thing and I get a "processing" message for 10 minutes. Is anyone around to chat?

[QUOTE]What up? I'm on a lull at work. Thursday are always jammed lately. No big deal, but I'm trying to cram three days' worth of work into one because I'm out tomorrow and Saturday. EFF.

I'm glad you have something fun to look forward to this weekend as well Eagles. *hugs*
Meeting dogs this weekend. NERVOUS.
I am trying to find small pocket compasses to use as wedding favors.

I heart you right now Erin!

Wouldn't that be awesome? I know there's such a thing as vacations, but that's becoming a foreign word to me anymore.
Bio, now with married pics...

I had to say goodbye to four of my students today. I hate this. And I know more will be leaving in the next few days

<div>You don't get paid for your Christmas break? o.O </div><div>
</div><div>I don't get any PTO, but that's my choice. I'm not salary and I work whenever and however much I want. I still get paid for Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July, etc. Everybody at my company does.</div><div>
</div><div>ETA: Ok, the above didn't make much sense. I don't get vacation time or paid sick time. We have special company holidays where everyone gets paid, salary, hourly, etc.</div>

Why do you not get PTO just because you're not salaried? Or are they not linked? The part-time/temp people here don't get PTO, but everyone else does.

</div><div>Not linked. I don't get PTO because I work so few hours. If I worked 32 hours/ week I would. I work very few hours, usually 25/ week.</div><div>

[QUOTE]Erin- I am currently going for an elementary education degree, but I am thinking about switching to secondary education with an emphasis in History. With my health problems it really isn't realistic for me to go for elementary education.

[QUOTE]That must be hard, Chels, but like you said I don't blame the parents one bit. I'd probably take mine out too in that scenario. It is a pretty small school anyway, isn't it?

Yeah about 60 before all this started. We're down to about 45 I think? That's a rough guess.

We're thinking about it. I'm really nervous because we have a good thing going with Rufus, and we're really punchy about disrupting that or getting in over our heads. But, it's a possibility.
