Great that you are getting 8 hours sleep a night KatT and it's helping with your energy levels and pain management .
Great you are having a vacation coming up any plans for going away ?

No plans for the holidays except yard and house work, relaxing.....basically doing whatever we feel like doing that day.

Today is Canada Day.....we are supposed to be off but some of us had to work to fix a system issue...I worked all day and got a call while writing this which meant I had to log on, join a meeting....I will most likely going to work during my holidays    

 no copyu thong allowed.....I would like to avoid going completely blind     

Yes we do have sick and vacation days....the problem is we are extremely busy...my blood test can wait two more weeks (replacing senior manager next week and the week after, one of my employees is on holidays)

I definitely won't think about work....unless I need to work...will absolutely think about my psoriasis club family

Is it a big company or a small company you work for?
I know the drill for a small company, sometimes work/products have to be delivered at a certain time and then it is all hands on deck.

Anyway, relaxing and just doing the things you like to do at the moment sounds okay.

And for the last remark:

Enjoy your time off KatT, I'm afraid it seems in this modern age the technology means you are available to work even when on holiday. I know my son in laws  are regularly contacted by their companies when on holiday  .... It wasn't like that in my day thank goodness 

Maybe you should find somewhere with an extremely bad internet connection.

That's a good idea!  

I work for the Government of Canada....over 300 000 employees.  More specifically for the department of Public Services and Procurement Canada....transferred to that department at the beginning of 2019.

One of the mandates of the department is the administration of pay.  Therefore, responsible for the pay system.

Unfortunately, big wigs made an extremely bad decision back in 2016 to go live with a new system which is crap!!!  The biggest failure in system implementation of this type in Canada .  Ohhhh...I could go on and on and on    

Just look up Phoenix Pay System 

My expertise is pay and benefits policy...now I work behind the scenes with IBM on the system ....very different and difficult since I am not a techie....

I love Dave's idea    soooooo since we are not allowed to work remotely from another country..... I shall pack my bags and visit Fred...no worries....I don't own a copyu thong
