Posted July 12, 2018 Welcome back, @Chiaki That is a nice mess, Lagie! We could use a little of that rain here (I'm assuming that is from rain, not some other cause). After a very wet May with flooding in many areas, June and July have been very dry. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 SPIRIT! *snuggles* Hey MP. I'm trying not to fall asleep Up late playing on my Vita lol. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 *rolls Spirit up into a sleeping bag* I wish I didn't have to do work today. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 Same here. But my manager said that I have to take some leave sometime soon cause it's building up again. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 Yes... yay for off time but I requested it to be taken in September! Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 Sadly I don't think I can wing that.... Birthday is on a Monday this year I think and we aren't allowed to take off on Monday's. And it's near month end for our newspapers. But maybe if I'm lucky I can take off will have to see how it goes. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 I could ask if I can take the week off but that might happen even less. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 If your boss wants you to take some time off she needs to let you do it. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 The problem is I do the bulk of the ads on the newspaper I work with and I handle the problem clients. She won't be able to handle that and support the others. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 What would she do if you were sick and couldn't come in? Surely she has a back up plan for when you're not around? Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 They would struggle. But if I'm sick but not deadly sick I still come to work. If the doctor books me off then I stay at home. That rarely happens. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 We are seven and then one manager. So eight. And we have like 15 to 18 publications we work on. Depending on the time of the month or where we are in the year. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 If you do the bulk of the ads, what do the others do? Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 I do the bulk of the ads for one of those publications. Each of us have our own newspaper to handle. My manager helps me with mine because some of the other newspapers are a bit smaller but they help out with the other bigger newspapers as well. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 Ah ok. I get it. So everyone is in charge of their own paper and the manager sort of flits between as needed? Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 Pretty much yeah. She takes on reps when the ads aren't in for deadline. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2018 So if anyone is off then there is no real cover. Damn. Share this post Link to post
