I get this really nice perk at my job and from memorial day through labor we get to take a 1/2 day once a week (but get full pay). Those days were lifesavers for me! If i ever need to do dr appt during the week, or just to get out early to spend quality time with DS, meet up with my cousin and her DS because she was on summer break, I was able to do so alot on my 1/2days during the week. I am really going to miss having this perk.
Today is my last 1/2 day of the summer..so I am rushing out of here at noon, to go play with DS all day..and DH is getting out of work early too!
