This week I used some of my PTO to take the whole week off and stay home. It's been a while since I've taken a long stretch of time off just to chill. It almost feels like I'm cheating the system because I'm getting paid to sit on my ass and goof off. However, my manager, who's actually a really chill guy, constantly tells us to use our PTO so we don't lose it at the end of the year. We have this policy at work where only 40 hours of accrued PTO can carry over to the next year, so he practically beats it into our heads to take time off before we lose what we've rightfully earned. Like I said, he's a cool dude. So cool that I can forgive him for that one time he called me on my day off because he forgot I requested the day off and thought I died in a ditch lol.
