one of my ex-boyfriends used to say that the "perfect size breasts" could fit into a champagne glass.
I do hope that rule came into effect when champagne was drunk from wide-mouthed glasses and not the more modern champagne flute.

Dude. SO I emailed my HR person asking about the ridiculousness of this coverage for babies. She told me to "ask your doctor to code the office visit as something other than a routine exam".
!!!
Commit fraud for me? Suuuuuuure.

Champagne glass? Huh.
As it is, I'm about the least boobist guy you'll ever meet. Big, small.... I like boobs.

I suppose having the doctor commit fraud would save the HR person the trouble of actually doing his or her job. jeesh.
ETA: Boobies are being discussed here, and internet porn in Natter. It's a good balance.

What is even happening?
and so I burst into tears. It seemed the thing to do, and it wasn't faked, but I went with it because I thought it might help. And it did.I'm sorry you were brought to tears, but am glad it worked for you, Fay.
And, yes, granted I'd indicated that I would renew when pressed to say some 3 weeks ago - I ticked a box that said I would be returning. (I didn't date it or sign it, and I did angst over it, because I didn't want to lie when I knew I was in two minds - but in the end I made the decision to safeguard a job in the hand, type of thing, and I do think that that's a rather dirty trick.)You know what? This isn't a dirty trick so much as working within the systems in place. When I was expecting Benjamin, I knew that, barring catastrophe, I would not return to work. I loved my immediate boss, and considered her a friend, and still could not tell her. I could not tell her, because there is no barring of catastrophes, and if I'd lost my baby late on, or delivered a stillborn child, or a child who needed special care which we'd only be able to afford if I continued to work, that I would need my job. If the system was such that I could have revealed all, and kept my job securely until I was prepared to give it up, I certainly would have revealed all. But that's not what you're dealing with. And when you indicated you would renew, nobody asked you if that was set in stone--that's the purpose of the actual renewal.
And I'm not breaking my contract. Damn it. I shouldn't have to feel like this. I shouldn't be scared that he's going to try to stab me in the back, but at the end of last year he sacked three people on the last day of term, and he's just - he's a bad guy. He really is. Damn it.
That's right. You are not. If the questionaire which asked you if you intended to renew put forth every possible circumstance you might find yourself in, and if you'd renew under those conditions, and had you not renewed, under conditions where you'd indicated you would renew, that would perhaps be a different matter. You gave your answer based on the best information you had at the time (that is--no better opportunity).
Screw 'em.
