In your opinion is it better to take PTO for a chill staycation or a full-on travel adventure? Personally, I love a lazy long weekend with no plans and my phone on do not disturb.

A full on vacation to an all inclusive to do barely anything

ah that sounds nice. i have never been to an all-inclusive resort!

I think you defined it. If I’m just looking to relax, I don’t have to go anywhere. There are many places at home that still make me feel like a tourist. I use PTO to create 4-day workweeks all summer. I love travel adventures, but I never go to work the next day. I need a stay to recover.

I wish we got rest days on top of vacation days haha

I'll take the full-on travel adventure. I used one of my PTO weeks to go to Peru last year and visit Machu Picchu and a ton of other places. We were up at 5 pretty much every morning and it was an exhausting whirlwind of a trip, but it was completely worth it.

that sounds amazing! I have always wanted to go to Peru!

Staycations are vastly underrated. I love to use the time to disconnect and relax. I also plan for a little bit of adventure, exploration and some new restaurants in my city and splurge on some things I normally don’t.

i agree! it is so good for mental health to relax at home

I like a small travel adventure. Something close, definitely a hotel. When I'm home, I just feel like I should be doing chores or getting things done.

I NEED HELP WITH CREDIT SCORE issues: Two months ago my credit score went down by 30 to 40 points due to dad missing credit card payment by a day (i got added to as authorized user on his credit card for me to build credit but now I’m filled with regret). I was devastated by it. This past month I have been making more payments and paid off my aug statement in full thinking it will boost my credit score. But I don’t know why it went down another 10 points. More below:

A parent of one of my students told admin she thinks it's irresponsible that I won't be grading over Christmas break. I let the students know to get any work they need graded in before the break and I'll get it to it during our workdays in January. Apparently that's not fast enough for her 🙄. Is it wrong that I'm sort of pissed off by this? Should I say something?

hiya fishes. happy friday! sorry if this isnt the right bowl, but this is in regards to vacation time. i have an interview process starting next week, and wondering when it would be good to mention i would be OOO between the middle of the month in september? its for a week. im unsure if i can twist this to have a start date once im back. going back and forth on being transparent vs. mentioning it later on. thoughts?

So I had 3 deals scheduled to either close end of May or mid June which were all pushed to end of June/beginning of July. Which is when I have my first vacation planned for over a year (I take 0 time off). My whole family is flying up and we’re renting a cabin near me. What do I do? I’m running one of the deals, semi running the other one and not doing much leading on the other one. Note: I was supposed to not be running any of these. Do I find a back up first or tell the partners first?
