I know I'm whining here, but I'm absolutely exhausted. My eyes are burning just trying to keep them open! My problem: my new job runs strictly on PTO. So when I started in the middle of March, I had no time built up. Secondly, all holidays: Memorial, Labor Day, 4th, etc. are taken out of my PTO time. So at this point, I only have 3 days of PTO built up and with the 4th coming up, I'll be down to 2.
I'm trying to build up as much time as possible before Baby H arrives so I can take more time off after he/she is here. I really need a day off, I'm spent, I just want to cry and I can't afford to take a day off.
I will get 7 weeks of mat leave and then hope to at least have enough time after all holidays are taken out of my PTO to have another week off. Then I will be back at square one after the 1st of the year because I will probably use all of my time when the baby comes. I'd at least like to take 8 weeks. It would be great if I had more PTO built up so I can carry it over to 2010 and not start with 0 PTO hours again....sorry, I had to get that out!
