Cheyenne Zulu contracts are hard to find, but if you look hard enough and are willing to be held responsible for a minimal amout of effort to a group of people willing to settle, things can work out.

Couple people who directly influence my work got fired this week and I fired a third.  (Guess I got all caught up in the firing frenzy and had to get involved.)  Anyway-  I am now left covering the massive gap in productivity and I won't be receiving any tangible benefits any time soon.  Kinda wish I hadn't fired that other guy now.

why do people insist on coming around and explaining to everyone why they have decided to take some time off work?  I don't care that you aren't going to be here because you have to watch your kid's kid.  I don't care that you feel like you need to spend some time with the family since the kids are out of school.  I don't care that you have time that is going to burn up if you don't use it.  it's like people feel bad about taking time off so they have to come and give their sob story to you to make you understand and not be mad at them.  there's a reason you have PTO, the reason is IDGAF GTFOOMF.
