That sucks. This morning, I found a roach in my bathroom, sprayed it down with bugspray, then like an idiot, went ahead and took a shower anyway. I guess I breathed some of it in because I'm a little nauseas right now.

Boy, it would be nice if the States offered this much vacation time, considering the majority of other countries do. Oh, well, can't run the world with month-long vacations.:salute:

Snowed in. Walking my dog is a challenge. Off the main roads there isn't a sidewalk in sight. On the main roads, there are giant slush puddles where there was a sidewalk.

I'm also working on something and studying as well. Is that acceptable?

4 weeks leave plus holidays scattered throughout the year should be a basic minimum. But that's just me, I get Bolshie about things like that.
