My work is pretty good about giving me time of when i need it. Like today i had a doctors appointment s i had to leave an hour and a half earlier than normal.Nobody has a problem with that. If you like to take an extra day of they give it to you if you ask for it ahead of time. Is your job good about giving you time of when you need it, or do they give you a hard time about it?

i sometimes think it is better to work outside as nobody seems to have any appreciation for household work.

My job is hard on time. I am not always have the time when I need during the workday. Usually, I have to ask for leave at first.

hi missy bear! well you are so fortunate. i used to have a job like that, but we also compensate for their generosity by extending extra hours without pay. but now, i work freelance so my time is more flexible. and i am really happy with what i do. i can wake up at lunchtime without anyone bugging me. hehe but today, thankfully, i started early. take care and God bless you! merry christmas!

My boss is pretty good too, he always allows us to leave early if we have good reasons. In fact, most of us always go to work late, but he doesn't really mind. The most important thing is we get our job done.

Well I guess there are just those employers that are considerate about taking some time off work when you can give reasonable excuse. I guess that also applies in my job. They do not pay much in the salary but when things like me going to the doctor they are not that strict and would just allow me to go undertime or just leave in between working hours.

My job is right here sitting in this on the computer. No I don't have any problems getting time off when I need it. My boss is the best! and easy to talk to about anything, but my husband mainly has certain days off every week and if he wanted a different day off for whatever reasons, I'm sure they would turn a few flips because they are very strict about what days they give him.

My work place is real good about letting me off of work to go to doctors appointments and such. If I let them know in time enough they go out of their way to accomdate what ever appointments I have. I am blessed to work in a good work place.

no, my work is pretty good about giving me time off when i need it. but i was off on sick leave for 5 months and now i am only working 3 days a week, so i can schedule some drs appts on my time off, but sometimes with a specialist, you dont always have that luxury right?

You right, you have to take the appointments they give you otherwise you have to wait forever. I'm glad you back to work.
