I'm contemplating calling in sick on Thurs-Friday next week so they can't fire me in March, and then my benefits would extend for the whole month of April without Cobra payments.
The only problem is that they have to process the term ahead of time, so it could lead to me showing up on Monday and being told I was fired on Friday but I just didn't know it.
Usually I'm not into stunts and would rather maintain my dignity, but it is worth a couple hundred dollars. And they are being skeezy.
Well, worst case is that you got two days off and didn't yet know about the firing, right? I mean, those are two days you get to use sick leave and not work.
eta: also, it sucks so much that you have this hanging over you. I'm so sorry.
Cass!! I have a question for you. You like Indy Car, right?
Yes! And I managed to get cable before the season opener even! Um, upon reflection, I might be a little *too* into racing.

Can they do that? I mean, they've sort of got to inform you, I would think.

I don't think they can do that. I say call in sick.

The sky MIGHT be blue on sunny days!
George W. Bush just MIGHT be a doofus!
Do it, Hec. Like Steph says, worst case scenario they're on the hook for a couple of more days of sick time.

In the continuing events on the Life of the Pathetically Tired, I apparently have a boy. A boy who likes me. A very, very cute and endearing boy that is ridiculously charming and will likely be impossible to say no to.
I want to say "why me?" but I am so terribly flattered that I can't seem to do anything other than vacillate between "so cute!" and "I am so wrong for you!"
You're jazzed, just a little, huh?
Hee. Maybe a little.
You know, I loved Bec dearly, but (and this is no doubt partly a product of age) this relationship feels healthier. (So far, anyway.) Early days yet, but I have a good feeling about this.

Trudy! Guess what my baby animals calendar is showing! BABY OPOSSUM!!
SOOOO CUUUTE!!!
Mom decided to do this when she planned a trip to China (where she actually is right now). Gave herself three weeks to learn. I admire her optomism.
Hee. I'd always thought that if I learned another language it'd be French (which I like, and I once spoke it well enough to get around Paris without offending the locals). Then, when I went to Egypt, I really enjoyed Arabic. But, y'know, priorities change.

Aww. It's a new trend! Significant others are in this spring!
