Thanks! I thought I was going crazy for a minute. I remember hearing about them here. Its nice to know not finding the thread was not purely a result of my incompetence 

[Dion]

A spate of rain has kept my 1955S wearable but once the mercury tips past 85 it’s byebye 21oz. I want IH on my legs year-round!

I wonder if my dentist would be as relaxed when I would show up 30 min late to my 18:00 appointment as she is at the moment with me waiting here for 30 min?

Which is why I'm never sorry if I'm late for a Dr.'s or dentist's appointment.

For our non-American members: what's the customary practice for time off from work when an employee has a death in the family?

[neph93]

In Norway that depends massively on the circumstances. For a government or local authority employee, if it concerned an elderly parent dying of natural causes that would still qualify for up to twenty days at the discretion of your line manager.

Shit… you would tough to find a boss who would give you 20 hours in the US...

Norway seems fantastic.

It has it's moments @Matty123 I talk to my brother who now lives in Brooklyn and sometimes struggles for work, and often wonder how I'd get on there. The US system certainly keeps you sharp and driven, whereas I suspect Norway was blunted my competitive edge…

Seriously….maybe you'd get a boss to let you go to the funeral on your lunch break or leave early one day if you're lucky...

And they would still take your ETO away…

Nah…Norway sounds awesome.  The US system of working is overrated and keeps you on the path to cardiac arrest and other stress related illnesses.

I worked about eight years in middle to upper management in the high school system and one of my teachers lost her teenage son in a car crash. This was in April. We just gave her the rest of the school year off, no questions asked. She came back to work in August. Squared it with the local authority after the fact. They didn't argue much.

I’m guessing the time off is with full, or near full pay?

My real issue with US business customs is the way they treat new mothers. It’s disgraceful. Sorry, perhaps this is bordering on political, and MODs can delete if they wish.
