I’m just doing weekend parental work for an extra day. Beats going into the office, but doesn’t really have the allure of a day off either.

edit - perhaps when the kid is older than one and more activities open up to us I won’t feel this way. Also supposed to rain for the next 6 days

edit #2 - to be clear, I was being a bit tongue in cheek. I love hanging w my son and he makes me laugh constantly. it’s a joy. but 3 day weekends used to be a wealth of me time and/or getting extra things done and now it’s keeping my energetic little dude fed and happy and alive. we’ll have a great extra day together. it just isn’t the lazy carefree 3 day weekends of yesteryear and I was mildly lamenting it. maybe ruin was a strong and incorrect word.

I am GS-9 now (step 8), there is a job at my branch that is GS-13 that I’d be great for. it better aligns with my pre-fed employment jobs than my current role. but I feel like that sort of grade jump automatically precludes me from being hired.

any input from anyone who might know better?
