poisonwood's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- new URL I've decided to start posting here. 9:19 a.m. - Nov. 03, 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- m/paternity leave I stumbled across what is apparently our company's m/paternity leave policy. It's new. Here's the deal: 1.) Men: 2 weeks paid leave 2.) Women: 6 weeks paid leave. After this is exhausted, one must use up vacation (3 weeks for all employees), then may apply for disability if additional leave is required. Any fixed holidays are not added. In other words, if you take 4 weeks and it occurs over Christmas, you still get only 4 weeks. My question: is this generous? What does NASA provide? If non-NASA employees read this, what does your company provide?
10:38 a.m. - Oct. 27, 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- soccer B and I are, as of today, officially living together!! Seattle had its last regular season match Saturday. The match set a league record for attendance at a single match (about 33K). In addition, the team set a record for average attendance at league matches during the season (about 30K). The only match I went to had 65,000 people attending (a non-league match). I love that Seattle is so enthusiastic. It's all good until they start wanting to buy a new stadium. I still can't get as excited about soccer as basketball. Basketball was great because it was such a fun thing to do during the long dark and rainy winter. Soccer is in the summer and outdoors anyway. 5:37 p.m. - Oct. 26, 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
