#weirdwords

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) 10h
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) 10h
AnnCrystal How do they calculate and weigh these decisions? 🥺💫. 9h

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

My #weirdwords is courtesy of Seth Meyers' Closer Look, when he made me aware of Grantifas. Don't f#$&$ with people with crocheting skills 🤘.... also who in their right mind would disrespect their grandparents?! ☠️☠️

TheBookHippie We had young white boys screaming at my group -we were standing by and with retired teachers & librarians -whose average age was 80 at the no kings …unreal. 2w

Bookwormjillk I see some of these people walking around the neighborhood where I work. They‘re awesome 👏 2w
lil1inblue @TheBookHippie We have 3 white boys that are maybe 19 that drive laps at our protests and yell obscenities out the window. It's the same 3 every time. I enjoy when the honking drowns them out. They're so pathetic. 2w
AmyG I am a Grantifa. We have been around a long, long time…harboring lots and lots and lots of anger. 2w
TheBookHippie @lil1inblue same here. So utterly ridiculous. 2w

Apparently this is the longest word for “pretty” or “beautiful.” That‘s a whole lotta syllables 😂🤪 #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

Amiable Oh, I‘ve loved this word since I first heard it. This and “mellifluous.” They both sound so lovely. 🥰 2w
CBee @Cuilin oh goodness - Caillou 😂 I must admit I found that series so annoying 🫣😂 2w
CBee @Amiable yesss, I love mellifluous too! 2w
dabbe When you say this one out loud, it does NOT sound beautiful; it's sounds like someone's willed with something putrid! 😂 Fab word. 😍 2w
Cuilin @CBee oh it‘s shockingly bad. He was so whiny. 2w
willaful @Cuilin I learned it from Woody Harrelson singing on SNL. “Pretty lady, foxy lady, attractive lady, pulchritudinous lady...“ 2w
BookmarkTavern What a great word! 2w

CBee @Cuilin solidarity 😂😂 2w
