Deblovestoread For some reason this word makes me think of Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I think it‘s in one of her spells. Much nicer vision. 😂 (edited) 5d

dabbe @lil1inblue That's why I love this allusion book I have. I'm even more interested in the background of the term than the allusion itself! Five gold ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for you! 5d

Great Expectations | Dickens

My #weirdwords of the day is the title of Dickens' novel. Legislation was recently passed in my R state that at the end of the calendar year, PTO exceeding 40 hrs will be automatically deposited into the company FML account. Problem is: several employees (including myself) maxed out their FML account years ago, but as we all know Rs don't want to interfere im business 🤬 Anywho, as difficult as it was to find a FULL week off the week before (CONT)

vivastory Thanksgiving I plan on taking a fill week off. Just checked my PTO and it appears as of today I have nearly 100 hours... which thanks to the new state law if I didn't use it before the end of the yr, I'd lose 75 hours (figuring in what I'd accumulate before the end of 2025) As someone who is a supervisor in a department that is responsible for appointments, it's pretty hard to find a full week off.My #greatexpectations for my PTO is to (Cont) 2w

vivastory go book shopping, go to the movies, take myself out for lunch and read read read. Not a weird word, but a weird situation & our political situation could give Dickens a run for his money @cbee (edited) 2w

AnnCrystal How do they calculate and weigh these decisions? 🥺💫. 2w

Leftcoastzen This country! I know many people with use it or lose it . But not enough staff so how can you use it ? 😡 2w

Lesliereadsalot Congrats on figuring out what‘s owed you. They don‘t make it easy! 2w

Suet624 I can‘t believe they made it a state law! I can imagine a company making it their policy, but for the state to require it is nuts 1w

Boy, is this a good one to help with understanding a major logical fallacy. And why would we need that given today's political climate? 🧐

Also genuine, true blue, the real deal, and so on. I feel like it could describe the fab new governors, the new NYC mayor, the folks who flipped the script all over the country. Well done 🩵 🌊 💙 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

Apologies for my recent brief absence, friends. The world, my mind, my heart - it‘s all so much (too much) and is getting the best of me lately. I had a word all ready for #weirdwords yesterday and forgot to post - am behind on posts for #readyourkindle. Anyway, here is my very gloomy reasoning in haiku form 🤷‍♀️😬#haikuhive
