Mike, Michael and I are hitting the road tonight for a week and a half road trip through Oregon. Redding, Steamboat, Portland for two nights, Columbia River Gorge, Astoria then making our way leisurely down the coast. I'm so excited both to see Oregon for the first time and to have all that time away with my men.
For my time away from work the director of finance told me to take two comp days for "all the work" I did closing 1st quarter finances. She also told me to go ahead and take two more comp days in advance of the upcoming work to close 2nd quarter finances.
I guess always leaving the office early and putzing away on personal projects while at work warrants some comp time. Who knew? Maybe if I stop coming to work all together I'll earn even more. The fact that she is clueless about my lack of workload will not stop me from taking her up on her very generous offer.
Since I work four day weeks, those undeserved comp days cover all of my time away next week. My company gives two days for the July 4th holiday which covers the one day I'll be missing this week and still leaves me an extra comp day to take at some other time. That's right. Not only do I not have to use any PTO for my 10 day trip, but I'm actually getting a bonus day off out of the deal. The insanity of boring, direction-less job sure does pay off sometimes.
