*Warning: this post is a "let me vent and bitch a little" type....just don't say i didn't warn you.
Okay, for starters...I get FIVE days off a year for the first year at my current job. FIVE? Is that some kind of like cruel mean joke? I realize I just started working in the professional world in May but come on....five days is friggin RIDICULOUS. This includes sick days, in other words...I'm never taking another sick day again! I only took a few half days in the past year that were sick related. Then I took 3 random Fridays for weddings, family stuff, etc. This all adds up to ..."oh you are at your limit, your five days is DONE!" I kinda assumed (of course, we know what happens when you assume) once I became an attorney I would not have to abide by such strict strict policies. Not saying that just because I am an attorney I should receive special privileges, just saying that most attorneys and other professionals I know do not have to abide by such crazy leave policies. i.e., most attorneys can work a couple of really long days to make up for missing a day. Yeah, not so much for me. I'm not quite sure how people do it. Starting in May I will increase to SEVEN days off for a year, yippe! (insert mayyjah sarcasm) I am in a lot of out of town weddings, and God forbid I just want a vacation. This is really annoying me right now...my family was hoping to take a week long ski vacation next year, but if i were to take five full days then it would mean I would have a measely two days left. Maybe I'm the one that is being ridiculous...but it sure doesn't feel that way. I just have so many friends and a HUSBAND who work in corporate America or for banks and they get an insane in the membrane amount of time off. Mikey is going on like 15 personal days, plus 11 banking holidays plus his birthday. Really? Oh wait, that's right....that really compares to my FIVE!
Soooo frustrated right now...
Sorry for the rant!
