1. I'm not.
Got to train a new person for our department.

Have to get him up to speed in about 2 weeks. So get to have a lot of fun.

3. I'm not on vacation, but the students are
so that will make being here a little more bearable.

Now, if I could just get rid of some of the faculty....

13. I'm sorry to hear that - it sucks, I know; I feel lucky every day to have
my job, even if I'm not making near what I was before I was laid off and had to take this, just for the bennies, mostly...
I wish you well in finding something new that is a good fit for you :hi:

12. I'm not...I put in four-10s this week so I could have today off without
having to take a vacation day, but I am working all next week, just as usual. I'm saving my vacation time for a long B-day weekend in April, a long Labor Day weekend in September so I can go join the protest at the convention in Minneapolis, and the rest for a camping trip or two up north this summer.

18. Vacation?-What's that?
I can't even afford to go across town, much less out of town. The only times we've left town in the last five years is to go to funerals-and that certainly ain't a vacation.
