Really? Only 24 work days left????

I cant really come to grips with this yet! I only have 24 days of work left and then off for a year.

24 days seems like nothing but I REALLY have to get off the Bump and get caught up so I can pass my work on to whoever will be covering!

How many work days left for you?

Re: Really? Only 24 work days left????

  • 24 for me too!! But I'll go back in May.

  • I'm only working through thanksgiving so only 4 for me! I feel like a quitter for leaving early but I am too exhausted and cannot seem to make my job any easier on myself (teaching middle school).  I will be 35 weeks since my due date is actually in December.
  • I'm already off of work because i work in a inn and there not very busy this time of year, so i've been off the last 3 weeks.

  • After this week, there are only 4 more weeks left in the Semester at work! I'm trying really hard to get caught up on all my grading before Thanksgiving break so I can have a few days to relax and then I have to keep up on grading so I don't leave a mess for someone else if baby comes early
  • I hadnt thought to count yet but its only 21 days!! Then I will be off for at least a year.. but probably more then that as we are planning for me to be a SAHM. I find that it is getting very difficult to concentrate and stay motivated at work knowing that I am almost done.
    Survived major c-section complications which led to massive blood transfusion, hysterectomy, BSO and pulmonary embolism. Very thankful to be alive to raise my kids! Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • 20!!!! I'm super stoked!!
  • I have about 15 days left. It might be my final few days at my job, as today we had a huge company wide meeting and they are cutting people. We will find out after Thanksgiving break who gets cut. Luckily, we will get 60 days non work pay until March and severance packages after that. Oh well, not too worried, there is nothing I can do about layoffs lol
  • I got laid off yesterday so I started my maternity leave TODAY!!!  I woke up and felt so happy and relieved.  My job was getting really stressful.  I am going to take this time and figure out what I really want to do "when I grow up" :)
  • 22 work days! (I have 2 off next week) So excited! I have a little countdown in my office :-)

    Wow! You ladies are taking off early! I'm due Jan 1st and I plan on leaving in 30 days, giving myself 2 weeks before the due date. And I thought that was too early. Guess not.

    Where I work, everyone has paid break from 12/23-1/3 and then 1/3 is 2 weeks before my DD, so I am done 12/22.

    BTW, we are counting WORK days, not weekends or anything, that may be the confusion.
