With the car keys.

I get 5% extra per year saved of sick leave on my pension, up to 2 years, adjusted to percent of the year left of sick leave. But my job is fun and people tend to want to work.

I bought a 5 piece set of these at Costco a few weeks ago and they are amazing.

I had to stop playing because of that. It seemed fun otherwise.

Just made me check mine. I'm in a good union and earn 2.46 hours of sick per 40 hours of work and 3.28 hours of leave per 40 hours of work. A year of work is 2498 hours for us for reference.

I also get 48 hours of other leave, 16 hours of leave per each of 13 holidays, and I can take my overtime as 1.5 hours of leave per hour worked instead of pay. We also get 240 hours parental leave for a new child.

Leave accrues whenever we are in a paid status on straight time.

But to add to the irony, a roof is designed to keep water out of the house, as that is it's primary job. If the roof is burned off enough that a downpour can put the fire out the only thing in there that isn't a charred soggy mess is the foundation. This guy has lost everything he has and he's just watching everyone else celebrate someone who was an asshole to him.

At my previous job I did hospital triage. Once a guy walked up to me and said "My wife isn't doing well, I think she's dead". He told me she had been sick for several days and when she started doing really badly he had to get his neighbor to help carry her to the car. He said he didn't want to bother the fire department.

He had driven from his home on the eastern fucking shore of Maryland to DC. 100+ miles. Told me he was going to be staying at his house in Maryland because he didn't like his house in DC. She came out of the passenger seat and stayed in a seated position and we put her in an unstaffed room.

If you have asthma don't fuck around with inhalants. I'm a paramedic and I've seen too many people lately with asthma not responding to their daily inhaler (advair,breo,etc...) plus their nebulizer at home with Albuterol and ipratropium. Last shift I had two people who were dying from asthma exacerbations at home, one I managed to reverse with what I have and she left the ER 8 hours later and the other I prevented an intubation and he still went to the ICU. There's too many irritants in the air for you to add more to yourself. Stick to edibles.

Used to see these people with multiple prescriptions for Percocets. They would use one for themselves and sell all the rest as individual pills to pay for treatment.

American healthcare system turned little old ladies with cancer into hardcore drug dealers.

My union has gotten me more money in multiple single years since I've been hired that I'll pay in dues for my whole career.

I ended up hating the books by the end. It felt like no one was keeping Weber's need to info dump in check. He also let his tendency to write bad guys with no redeeming qualities get out of hand. It felt like a complete drag at the end as when the political situation escalated the tech gap meant that there wasn't as much risk for Manticore.
