I can't believe I'm doing this, but I want to kinda defend the licki brush.
I know that when dealing with animals it's good practice to use body language and acts that correspond to what the animals themselves do in their own family/pack whatever. I can see how it's possible that the licking/grooming may more accurately convey a emotion or message, but how much better than simply petting I don't know. I still think it's silly but there MAY be something more too it scientifically. then again, it may just be something more for crazy cat people. |

Having read more on the Kickstarter I think I was giving it too much credit.

IMO, if you are not causing a work stoppage, you are willing to either take paid time off, or if you are able to make up your hours/work later in the week I think you should be allowed to go. I literally can call my boss and tell him "I need to take the afternoon off for personal reasons, I can make up my time Thursday or take PTO" and I have never once been denied. My PTO is MY time to use how I see fit. When I worked in a position where there were minimum staffing levels it was as simple as switching a shift and I had the same flexibility. Oh, and I have 29 paid days off a year. I love healthcare. |

I dunno. I think I'll just have to request it as a "personal appointment" and hold my ground if he inquires why I need 4 hours off in the middle of the day. Still not sure how I'd answer if he asks me directly whether I'm interviewing. |
No PTO request?

Not sure what you're asking. We do use PTO hours but that's not really the issue.
"I've got a checkup with the doctor and a few other errands to run that I can't get done before/after work." It's never been an issue. |
If you use PTO then what is the issue? Not being able to get away? Why not have your PTO approved & take off the remaining time of the day :dealwithit:

It sounds like it is. If you work a typical 8-5 type schedule, my go to has always been:

That's what I'm saying -- the department is so thin that any time off requests that aren't made weeks and weeks in advance tend to get a little more attention from the boss. I have 260+ PTO hours stored up, that's not a problem -- it's trying to avoid a situation where I have to look my boss in the eye and lie to him about why I need the time off.
