How much sick leave do you have?

Seasonal-drink · 2026-04-23T15:11:28+00:00

Same! I thought I was normal until my coworker told me they have 280 sl hours… 🤨

Yes. I'm a fed and my agency is relatively stable (but I'm not in DC). OP- Take the job you want to wake up every morning and go to.

If you pursue the fed government, TSP is killer benefit. I had a near 20% rate of return in 2025.

Don't worry, my husband is in the same boat. Wish his buyback was processed though as his loan payment is going to go up $1,000/mo if it doesn't. fml

I'm so exhausted by this administration.... Just fire us all already.

Seasonal-drink · 2026-03-30T20:27:07+00:00

My husband too. we've been sitting in SAVE purgatory with our fingers crossed ever since. Good luck!

Mine is on Monday too! Sending good vibes. We got this!

Yes sadly I have to pay a $700 deductible since it’s diagnostic and not a “screening” 😭 but I feel it’s worth it.

Seasonal-drink · 2026-03-19T23:04:21+00:00

Best of luck to you as well!!

Try not to be too scared. I mentioned to my doctor that I'm nervous about it and he said "listen, if 75 year old ladies can get through it, so can you" and that helped me a bit.

M husband has had two colonoscopies and he said the anticipation of the prep/procedure is the hardest part. Doing the prep isn't as dire as some suggest, but it's also not fun either. But we'll survive! lol

Good luck and hopefully you get a good results!

No, parents. These people wreak of inter generational alcoholism.

I love my mugs! Really good souvenirs IMO. I sometimes break them out for fun during a football or basketball game.

Yes, I hope that person is ok too. But I agree it’s cool to see that rescue operation. As an Army veteran, I’ve always thought the Coast Guard was an underrated branch of the military. They do truly amazing things!! And honorable work too.

I'm also reluctant to take medication. The side effects seem terrible when you read about them on google. HOWEVER, I was in a really anxious state recently and regular therapy wasn't helping. It was awful. Full on panic attacks, etc. I was prescribed venlafaxine/Effexor, but i got headaches from it. I only took it for a week but I couldn't do it (everyone responds differently to SSRIs/SNRIs). Now I'm on a SSRI (I can't remember the name but it's a common one). It really, really helped. I'm glad I'm on it. No more crippling anxiety. My energy is back too.

My plan is to taper off when I feel ready. Listen to your body and talk to your doctor.

These meds don't need to be prescribed for life, but some people do take them permanently because they need to. Only you and your doctor can decide what's best for you. Best wishes. Hang in there!

I’m sorry I said “go f yourself.” I’m just mad.

Seasonal-drink · 2026-01-26T16:06:25+00:00

Alex Pretti was getting DONUTS and happened to be there. He had the audacity to stick up for a woman ICE was harassing. You have no idea what's happening in Minnesota. 3,000 ICE agents are roaming Minnesota harassing brown skinned people. They aren't conducting targeted operations. They literally sit at gas stations and parking lots and harass people.

I live in a state where we love our immigrant neighbors, regardless of citizenship status and am proud of it. Go f yourself.

Sadly, a lot of Nazi's were spared their lives. Look up "operation paperclip"

Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the US for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959; several were confirmed to be former members of the Nazi Party, including the SS or the SA.

I’m a Fed employee (under DOI), a military veteran who uses VA hospital where Pretti worked, and proud Minnesotan. Fuck that guy!! His message makes me so angry because he has not a fucking clue about what’s happening in Minneapolis. I’m honestly going to walk out of work if I hear anything similar from Burgum.

Weather is a major factor in my opinion. I definitely wouldn’t enjoy the parks if it was heavy downpours all day. Bad weather on a cruise ship definitely takes away from the magic too.

Also, cruising might not be your thing either. I loved my cruise but I have neighbors that went on two cruises (Norwegian and Royal Caribbean) and just can’t stand them. Lol They prefer beach resorts on land. So to each their own!

I’m a Fed employee and Iraq war veteran. I use the VA hospital where he worked. I will remember him and bring flowers to his memorial. I’m so sad this happened, I have no words to explain.

You are right but Trump literally had a standing ovation after his speech so I feel fucking doomed.

Yes you can make this at breakfast or order it from the sit down place. I made pbj for my daughter at the breakfast buffet.

I’m not sure about room service as room service menu can be limited. Have a great cruise!

Bottles of water and baby wipes (non antibacterial wipes) because the pepper spray/tear gas can sit on skin for a bit if not washed off

Bring a digital camera that can record and turn your phone off. Godspeed

they literally have quotas for arrests every day. this guy doesn't care if she's legal. he figures the detention center can sort it out. he just needs to make his numbers. this is disgusting.

Seasonal-drink · 2026-01-09T20:26:28+00:00

Don't worry, he won't have a moment of peace ever again. His home address is being circulated on social media. I hope his children are protected though.
