I wrote a long blahg entry and then wordpress deleted it because it wanted me to sign in again. And I tried to but my password (new, after some hackers) is ridiculously hard to type in correctly. After a couple rounds of that, I did get in (I have a pw phone app) but wordpress had lost my entry. Jeebus…

In that post, I had been complaining about how hard it can be for employees at my global high tech company to find basic information like, how many vacation days do I have left. I thought that I had something like 5.5 but I have approximately one hour less than six days. What this means is that I can take off from this Thursday through January 2, which will be the 2017 New Year’s Day holiday. I didn’t know, expect, plan, or even want to take that much time off during the holidays. I have a work ethic that regularly slaps me upside the head and so I was nervous about telling my supervisor that I wouldn’t be around for what amounts to a couple weeks. Her response was something like, “don’t worry about that hour.” Oh, yes…

As difficult and weird as my problem with my PTO is, today I eventually bashed my way through the application to figger it out. I have to note that even though our internal tools are not always the best, we are a global leader in terms of online banking. We do care about the people who use our stuff and we work hard to make sure they don’t have these issues.

And I am a “resource”. I love being a resource. Resources are treated well where I work.
