To desperately attempt to fix an issue that purchases won’t fix, lol.

I’ve got enough PTO to take off until February. Doesn’t mean I can take it.

I may be misunderstanding you, but if you can’t take it, doesn’t that mean you don’t really have it? It’s effectively just a small pay bump for more hours away from the family.

I don’t understand why my earlier comment is downvoted. Taking time off is important. We like to tell ourselves we’re bullet proof, but we’re not. Hustle culture really is doing a number on us all. You can’t be on all the time, no matter how tough you are.

I’d suggest taking your PTO and spending the time with your wife and daughter. Few people die wishing they worked more, and decompressing with the family is important.

Edit: whoever downvoted this, please take care of yourself.

“Amazon renewed”

Considering Amazon’s spotty track record when it comes to hardware, I wouldn’t be eager to jump on that one.

I voted that I will pursue a free option, but that’s not necessarily the gist of it. I don’t mind paying for a good product, but I will not buy into a subscription model, and will certainly not deal with a company willing to rugpull, or otherwise scheme, customers.
