I took two weeks off between my job in Ohio and the one here in San Antonio. I cashed in vacation that covered those days off. I took zero time off between my current jobs and cashed in 10+ weeks of vacation. Essentially, I've been paid continuously or even double paid since June of '03. Even though that time has included now 6 employers.
I mean, you don't hate to see it. Do you?
Yeah, just couldn’t do that. Don’t even understand it, really. I’m pretty good at effing around. And, for the record, while my 3 parents were wonderful enough to take care of my college tuition, everything after has been me. That is to say, my sabbaticals have been self funded but I recognize if I had undergraduate debt my choices may have been different.
Well, crap. Here we are again.
I have huge lectures at the University of Chicago and Cincinnati Children's this week. Getting on a plane this afternoon and I'm flying to Chicago and then driving from there to Cincinnati and flying home Thursday morning. I've spent a decent amount of time in Cincinnati and I've flown through Chicago dozens of times. But this is only the second real trip to Chicago and it's just one night. Food recommendations would be appreciated. I'm looking for delicious more than I'm looking for swanky. I don't care if it's a Burger Bar as long as it's amazing.
Since you are a noted admirer of Big Meat, may I suggest Gibson's? They have their own USDA designation for prime meat...and while it is clearly upscale, you can also sit at the bar or just grab a table and really enjoy a feast. Important info: the side dishes and desserts are all comically huge.https://www.gibsonssteakhouse.com/gibsons-chicago/
