I'm "Pseudo Retired" I don't have a job but I still do things to keep busy.

Monkeyman · 02-18-2012, 05:14 PM

Funny. I'm in favor of a lie but no toast.

It's an election year, we're going to be full of lies before you know it.

Maybe I'll just eat some toast . . .

Mmmm...I want mine with apple butter.

**ringadingh** · 02-20-2012, 12:20 AM

Id call in sick! Im sure youll feel better right after the rally.

Monkeyman · 02-20-2012, 03:12 AM

I thought about it but calling in for 2 straight weeks would involve a note from my doctor. Might be tough to explain why I was so sick I couldn't come into work but was well enough to ride halfway across the country.

If it was local (like I only had to take a few days off), I'd do it. It's not that I don't have the time on the books. We're REALLY short staffed so they're not approving much leave at all. :(

Go FMLA, what are they going to say? You had a sick brother that got stuck in Kanab, so you had to ride down there and help out . . . I'll even volunteer to resemble your brother.

We can take pictures of our bikes next to each other just incase they question our "Brotherhood", that should settle it.

I have enough medical interaction over the last 16 months he could just pick a few . . .

A good backache should be good for at least a couple weeks.

Monkeyman · 02-21-2012, 12:14 AM

As much as I'd hate to cheat the system, I'd almost consider it if I thought I could get away with it. I'd have such a guilty conscience, I wouldn't enjoy myself...........as much.

Hell, Mark. You're my brother anyway. We'd just have to prove bloodline. Somehow, I don't think a pair of Nomads would cut it. The boss man is pretty astute.

Monkeyman · 02-21-2012, 02:08 AM

We don't lose it in Indiana unless we leave our job. At the time of our termination/retirement, we get paid for up to 225 unused vacation hours. Anything over that gets donated back to the state. I think I'm probably screwed.

**ringadingh** · 02-21-2012, 09:40 AM

Id start using it any way you could.

It's tough to get approved for time off. Besides, at my current post, I've got alot to do and I seem to be the only one who can/will do the job. If I take a day (or week) off, the work will just pile up and I'll have to catch up when I return. Might as well stay there and keep things mostly caught up.

**ringadingh** · 02-21-2012, 10:11 AM

We have the same type of policy with our sicktime. After you reach the max number of days you stop aquiring sicktime.
We just call in sick once in a while to stay below the max.
