[quote=Anonymous]A lot of my neighbors probably think this about me too, but as a fed, unlike many of my private sector counter parts, I have to account for all of my hours on an actual timesheet.

So yes, you see me at school pickup at 3:30 PM, because I started my workday at 7 AM, and sometimes have to log back on later. Yes, I can take random teacher workdays off with my kid because I include them in planning how to use my 20 vacation days and 4-5 days off time off awards every year. Yes, i can take kids to some appointments using sick leave (although my spouse, who's salaried and doesnt have to account for his time, has done more thos year). Yes, you see me out exercising midday a couple times a week because I have to take a 30 minute unpaid lunch break, and if I am teleworking and don't have video meetings after, I'd rather spend it running than eating.

It probably looks like I'm never working, because you aren't in my house while I'm working. But I account for 40 hours every single week, mostly active work, and approved leave if not. OP, have you looked at your ex's time sheets? [/quote]
