  • I also work in a factory but our temperature is largely unregulated with the exception of offices, break areas and certain departments where the stock needs to be kept away from too much humidity (so, even in those departments it's humidity control not air conditioning). In the winter it's cold enough that we've had pipes freeze in the center of the building and in the summer it's normal to see 100 degrees at 3am. It's too bad I don't live in one of those states where it's "regulated" because I think anyone would say those temperatures are unreasonable.

  • In the US. I get all federal holidays plus my birthday and a few extra holidays (like an extra day around new years, Thanksgiving and Christmas) plus I get 25 days of paid vacation but no sick days. In 3.5 years I'll get the maximum of 30 days/year.

    Our vacation time is tied to years of service.

    1 year = one week 1-5 years = two weeks 5-10 years = three weeks 10-20 years= four weeks 20-25 years = five weeks 25+years = six weeks

    Of course by "week" I mean 5 days of vacation.

  • I fix things for a living. I'm fairly good at my job because I can ignore the big picture and drill down on the specific problem that needs to be addressed. It also helps that I understand things best by fully understanding them - which is to say I like to know how things are built, so I can guess at their common failure points.

  • I always over plan things. I'll plan encounters appropriate to level. I'll plan NPCs. I'll plan dungeon themes. But I won't plan a dungeon themed encounter unless I know they're heading into that dungeon because it's where we ended the last session.

    To put it another way: I never plan so specifically that a thing can't be moved to another place unless I'm positive it's coming next.

  • I almost bet the GM found a map they thought looked cool and is just throwing stuff at you to fight because it's faster and easier than coming up with storylines and characters with motivations. I get it, we GMs get busy with life and stuff too, but if you've been doing this for a while, there's always a reserve of characters or stories that you made but didn't use which can be pulled into the current game. With a new GM, they may not have that luxury.

    All that said, the best course of action seems to be the thing you've already concluded: talk to the GM and the group. Maybe let someone else try being GM if it's just the case of the current one being busy. As others have said, running a prewritten campaign is just fine, especially in Pathfinder. Heck, you can even buy many of them as foundry modules with music, maps and handouts all ready.
