Muffinz0rz 07/12/17 1:54:30 PM #52:	That_Happened posted... Um when you're an adult and have responsibilities around the home, getting those things done can definitely be beneficial to your mental health. It feels phenomenal to do work that I enjoy (handywork, gardening, etc) rather than the job I get paid to do, and when those things are done it's a very calming feeling. >work that I enjoy >work >enjoy Pick one If you're doing something you enjoy, it's not work. Even if it's your 9-5 job. That may be your "job," but it's not "work" if you enjoy it. That_Happened posted... Not everyone takes a mental health day to be a sloth and play video games all day. I never said it had to be video games. I was simply using video games as an example of what one's desired free-time activity might be. For me, it's video games. For someone else, it's reading. Or golfing. Or a myriad of other things. That_Happened posted... At this point I'm just going to assume you're a teenager. You're welcome to assume what you want, but all I can say is that you're wrong. But hey, your response is just going to be "no, you're a teenager because I said so even though I have no way of knowing," so I'm just not going to bother. shockthemonkey posted... TC is the most easily confused person on this board. Maybe he's still young and he's having a boring summer vacation. Definitely doesn't seem like he's finished maturing. Classic baseless accusation with no substance. Schools are the ones that are stealing childhoods You know, cherry-picking is really an effective way to make yourself look like you know what you're doing, when you really don't. See, for those who may not have seen where you're pulling this from, it implies to said reader that I'm trying to abolish school altogether. I mean, why not? School robs children of their childhoods, so why not get rid of it altogether? Oh, wait, of course that doesn't make sense, but then again, that's not what I said. Hence, the cherry-picking. But, hey, it's not like you addressed the point I was actually making or anything, so why would anyone expect to take you seriously? College and the real world will surely rob them of their innocence soon enough. I fail to see what's wrong with this. The youthful innocence of a child is gone, and the real world is to blame. --- Not changing this sig until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros.

ShadowElite86 posted... Relient_K posted... I get 32 paid days off a year currently. It's great. The hell.....where do you work? This really isn't that much. Using my job as an example, which is a typical 9-5 corporate job where I haven't been for all that long (since being at a company for a long time often leads to more PTO), I get 3 weeks of straight PTO. That's about average for an entry-level first time employee at a new company. That's 15 days, since weekends don't count. Next is "float holidays" or sick days. There are typically a set number of those per year. For me, it's 5, which counts for an additional week. That's 20 days. And finally, holidays. Using my company as an example, we get 8 paid, recognized holidays, where we are paid for the day off. So 15 + 5 + 8 = 28 paid days off a year. I'm willing to bet that Relient_K has been at his company longer and/or it offers better PTO for new employees. My guess is that he gets 4 weeks of PTO, which would be 33 paid days at my company (if you include the sick days and recognized holidays), but doesn't offer Presidents Day off (not every company does or has to). tl;dr: 32 really isn't that much when you think about it. shockthemonkey posted...

You realize you're playing the part of the guy who, when challenged, looks around the room and tries to make sure people are watching, rather than actually paying attention to the present discussion. So, until you respond to my points, you will not be responded to in return. That_Happened posted... Yup. The majority of people understand what a mental health day is and don't make a big issue out of the verbiage. It's just the occasional derp that turns "mental health" into "you fucking wuss!" and "school day" into "stealing the childhood of the innocent." I'm not being dense here. The verbiage can be misleading, especially in today's day and age of everyone and their mother suffering from some sort of depression/anxiety/etc. But, like sparky here, you still haven't replied to my points (as outlined in post #52 - your post in #58 doesn't count). Let me give you an example as to why it's not farfetch'd to link "mental health" and "depression" or other mental illnesses: The month of May is known as "Mental Health Awareness Month." That's right, since 1949, we have had an entire month dedicated to mental health awareness. If you look, the description is: Its purpose is to raise awareness and educate the public about: mental illnesses, such as depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder; the realities of living with these conditions; and strategies for attaining mental health and wellness. It also aims to draw attention to suicide, which can be precipitated by some mental illnesses. Additionally, Mental Health Awareness Month strives to reduce the stigma (negative attitudes and misconceptions) that surrounds mental illnesses. The month came about by presidential proclamation.[7] So, since 1949, it's not uncommon to think of actual mental illnesses when someone says "mental health day." The implication is that one is taking the day off to work on these diseases. But if you want to keep missing the point, which lies with the verbiage, and instead stick with the easy way out, then go for it. I'll rest easy knowing that you have nothing of value to say. Asherlee10 posted... Colloquially, "taking a mental health day" means you're just taking a break but you aren't physically ill, going on a vacation, or there is something terribly wrong. It just means you're taking a break. Yes. That's called a day off. There's no reason to drag "mental health" into it. I4NRulez posted... If you've ever worked at a real company they have so many options to avoid employee burnout. Yeah, it's called PTO and sick days. shockthemonkey posted... VGAddict90 posted... I think TC is slow.
