Beautiful cross stitch, too!

Many years ago, I decided that due to the nature of my job, and the people I was working with and around, I would bank every minute I could. It got to the point I was losing vacation time as we were only allowed to accrue 196 hours and had a lee-way of 3 weeks to deal with overage. I had accrued 600 hours or so of sick leave, and I got the half-pay on that as I would have had to save 1000 hours to be paid full time, but I also had saved holiday and comp time to their full extent, in case I was fired. I ended up taking a couple weeks of sick leave (mental health) and still had lots of leave left, and between a suit against the employer (the supervisor was harrasssing me in front of the entire office; some because of my appearance some because of my work ethic; I had one and he didn't) so I ended up working months longer than intended but I kept every minute banked as long as I could. When I quit, to move down here to San Diego, I had thousands of dollars after taxes to live on, and thanks goodness we had it; the rent was 3X more, the truck payment was still $400 a month and all the utilities were more than double what I was used to. that was my lifesaver. Be careful, even if they keep you, keep your "hourly wage stash".Bobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16791768485375014445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6176295394229792526.post-65714066419090506932009-01-05T03:06:00.000-05:002009-01-05T03:06:00.000-05:00Joansie, my thoughts are with you!Joansie, my thoughts are with you!AmyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15491367062875954080noreply@blogger.com
