My company gives us all 16 hours of personal time each year. They also give us weeks upon weeks of vacation time. The difference is that the personal time is meant to be used in small chunks at short notice, while the vacation time, which they don’t actually call vacation time, can only be used in four or eight hour chunks per day and is supposed to be booked in advance. The other difference is that vacation time can be carried over from this year to next year if needed while the personal time disappears on January 1st.
What does all of this mean? I had five hours of personal time left in the bank and I used it all up today. Robbie will not be having any time vanish on January 1st this year. I started my weekend five hours early, babie!
How did I celebrate this happy surprise of a half day? I ate my lunch too fast and made myself gastric bypass sick, that’s how! Yes! Well played, Robert the putz! I had a hamburger again to have another test of the sugar free ketchup. Yes, it does taste like ketchup and no, it is not disgusting! What a treat! It was such a treat that I ate way too much per bite and plowed through it all way too fast and got something stuck in my stomach tract and had a full on case of the foamies.
I am better now that a couple of hours have gone past. I’m okay!
Happy weekend plus five hours of personal time, everyone! WOOHOO!

My point: if it is information to be used in their work, don't make them do it on their break.
If it isn't #valuable enough to the company to do it on work time, then it isn't valuable enough for the employee to know and use it either.

CW: Discussion of immanent death
Unexpectedly - most and completely unexpectedly - I am back at Launceston airport because my mum is dying fast. Total heart block (electrical system not working to stimulate heartbeat) and renal failure. She's non-responsive and poorly oxygenated, deteriorating quite rapidly.
This morning I was told she was being stabilised with a hope to put in a pacemaker, but it was very serious. A few hours later it became the resus limits and comfort care talk. She probably won't live through the night.
I'll be quiet for a while on socials, and may be odd in my responses for a bit. Thank you in advance for your understanding.
While I respect those of you with personal deities, please do not tell me you are "praying" for myself or my mother about this - because as an atheist I don't have the energy to wade through posts of that kind.
Hubs is keeping the home fires burning with Cully, and I think I'll be back before the end of next week. If you are in the Meander area and have biscuits please drop by. Both my gorgeous guys love biscuits and good company.
Huge love in heartache.

I've been quiet and patchy on social media for a while now - partly because of ongoing long COVID - which I've been transparent about - but also because my mother's dementia is worsening. Which I haven't chosen to talk openly about until now.
Dementia is a horrible terminal disease, and although my mother's has been kind to us as she still recognises the people closest to her and that is somewhat comforting as her world gets smaller and smaller, it is still devestating.
I am my mother's responsible person for everything - do your advance planning everyone! - and although we are well-organised this is still incredibly difficult and exhausting. For anyone who has waited for me to return emails or phone calls this is the primary reason, and again I thank you for your patience with my erratic schedule.
I will be travelling back to the mainland this weekend, returning next week, to help settle my mum into full-time care. The admin alone is astonishing, as those of you who have undertaken this process understand, but the details of moving a life from a home into a care facility is wrenching and fraught.
Have a good weekend and I'll see you soon,
Annetta
