Where I spent my summer vacation

[sweetcell]

Just letting my vacation time pile up. I'm considering a move west sometime in the next year or so and I might have 10 or more weeks banked up when I do. Far more than enough to pay for a cross-country move.

how far west ya headed?

This is my #1 complaint about where I work. I get 27 days of PTO a year but can only roll over 40 hours a year, hard cap, with no cash-out option. It’s basically use it or lose it. Which is a better situation than 99+% of Americans find themselves in but it is a prime #FirstWorldProblem.

Watching for library jobs on the coast, especially Santa Barbara. So, to the Pacific then back a few feet.

Ordinarily, I can roll over 10 weeks but we're allowed 12 until the end of 2022. I've been at my job long enough to get 4 per year, so it piles up fairly quickly (currently at 8.5).

21 hours after our scheduled departure am beginning to wonder if we’ll ever get out of here….

We had a nice time at eastern shore.. but 2 observations


1. Saw a lot of Trump supporters and flags.. even Trump flags from buildings…these people are not nice…  we have a car with a Biden sticker and someone passed us and flipped us off.. kind of discouraging

2. Whether at Rehoboth, Bethany or OC never seen so many fat people…my god did everyone just put on 30 pounds? Kind of depressing

[Space Freely]

30 sounds about right for two-thirds of my family. I've lost about eight lbs since Super Bowl Monday.

The pandemic became the new Freshman 15 (or however many pounds it was).

they don't call it the Covid-20 for nothing...guess since it's gone a year and a half at this point, we can start calling it the Covid-30
but Americans are fat, that's a fact

https://www.tfah.org/report-details/state-of-obesity-2020/
The U.S. adult obesity rate stands at 42.4 percent
this is even a scarier trend for the future generations
Rates of childhood obesity are also increasing with the latest data showing that 19.3 percent of U.S. young people, ages 2 to 19, have obesity. In the mid-1970s, 5.5 percent of young people had obesity.
