I decided to pull up the holiday schedule for work yesterday and noticed something. “Vacation time cannot be carried forward.” On the first of the year, my remaining vacation time goes poof. There are no policies in place for paying back the time, so I’ve opted to do the only thing I could — take the rest of the week off.

Not exactly what I would have ideally done with my remaining vacation time, but it gives me some time to catch up on things around the house. I have a stack of movies I’ve been meaning to watch so now’s my chance.
