Every year I’m alotted 3 “Professional Days” at the beginning of every year. They’re different from my vacation days or sick days because I can take “Professional Days” whenever I want to, without any advance warning given to my supervisor. It’s sort of like a “Get Out of Work Free” card at my job, because my supervisor can’t deny me a “Professional Day” if I want to take one. Now, I have a good relationship with my boss, so I’d never hang her out to dry by taking a “Professional Day” at the drop of a hat and without giving her any notice, but it’s good to know that I could if the need ever arises.
The tricky thing about the “Professional Days” are that I can’t carry them over from year to year. So I’m given 3 at the beginning of each year, and if I don’t use them by the end of the year, then I lose them and get 3 more at the beginning of the next year. Far be it from me to turn down paid leave, so I instead take off every Friday in December before the holiday break.
That’s right bitches. It’s 4-day work weeks for me until 2006. Thursday is the new Friday. And Friday is the new “Get drunk by noon and set up an illegal cock-fighting ring in my living room”. I’m not talkin’ about chickens though, ya heard?
So while you all are lamenting that one more day of work that you have to squeeze out of the week, I’ll be wasted off my ass and taking bets for bouts between Banana Jack and the Wanginator. Life is good.
*sigh* I wish I were as cool as you.
Oh, be honest–you’re going to spend those Fridays finishing your Honey Do list, petting the cat and Christmas shopping.
That’s a real shame, because I have four day weeks every week of the motherfucking year.
“professional?” CRAP!!!!!!! waht am I???????????
u suk, acw!!! I will be at work cursing you every Friday!!!! beware!!!!!!
That’s freakin’ awesome.
I personally would have gone for lumping three of them in a row and calling it a week…but I like hoarding like that.
I’m not going to ask why you have a (non-rooster) cock fight going on at all…as in why are there at least two (possibly) naked or semi-naked male dangly bits hanging out in the same room. That’s just asking for trouble…especially when the parties are intoxicated…I see a Lenny/Carl scenario rearing its ugly head.
I’m doing the same thing… only throughout both November and December. I love having Friday’s off. My co-workers are so jealous!
Friday sounds good. My money’s on Little Jerry Seinfeld.
Enjoy ACW. I would like to point out that I, too, will be drunk by noon every Friday in the month of December. Sadly, I do not have off from work.
Happy Holidays!
tha wanginator?
whatever, we all know serra’s right.
You sick bastard. Now I am going to do even less than I was already doing today.
I was even considering giving you some advice on the eggnog, but since I have to work on Friday, I don’t know if I can swing it.
