Is anyone else working today? All of my friends have the day off. Not me! Wondering if I am alone. My boss said there’s too much to do to shut down for the day, and my PTO balance says I can’t argue.

I'm here as well! Also working today. Which feels pointless because everybody I need to get in contact with is off for the day. So I'm just sending out emails and leaving voicemails for all the people to return tomorrow, refreshed after a nice day off...

Working, but most of the people I know are also working, so in good company in that sense. Days off are like a 4 letter word around here.

I'm off today. I just started here in January and it's the first time I've had Juneteenth off. Very much enjoying it, I've had a rough week and really need the time to decompress.

We were off but I was working from home for most of the day. I'm glad the day is commemorated, but I have contacts who were working today. So I was touching base and doing what I could.

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

Is it crazy to switch a job while undergoing IVF?
I’ve been in my current role for almost 4 years. While I am generally happy, & have flexibility with time off for personal matters, there are things that bother me. I have an offer for way more money, manager title (which I want), much larger bonus & IVF benefit is better. However, I’m in the middle of stims and it is STRESSFUL. Part of me can’t imagine taking on a new role while I’m in the middle of this. But also feel like I can’t pass it up

You’re either not valuable to your company and/or your job isnt that important if you’re able to take PTO and not at least send some e-mails.

Trying to be really understanding about coworkers with no children feeling stressed during the holiday season, but it's hard not to ask if they'd prefer to go home to my sick kid, frustrated spouse and dirty house instead of their empty apartment where they have a flat screen TV and a beer waiting. How do you keep sane?

Do you work the holidays into your lesson plans this time of year? Or is it too much of a distraction from your routine? Teaching a SPED music class this year and the students have finally *mostly* become comfortable in the room and with the instruments + noise. We usually work on the same songs each week for one month, but I'm thinking of switching it up and doing Christmas/Holiday songs next week as a send off into break. I work with mostly autistic students.
