Is this new? Because the place I worked at five years ago did not cover contraception--I paid full price out of pocket. I never asked about Viagra.
Did they cover other prescription meds? That may have been right when it was changing. It looks like, in 2000, the EEOC said it was discriminatory to separate contraception from other prescription benefits. That was backed up by a federal court in 2001, which is what really spurred the change.
Though I'm willing to believe that some companies could still be waiting for a lawsuit, or exempt from Title VII for some arcane reason.
I cleaned out my closet this weekend and have about 6 pairs of shoes in a bag to give away. Can I buy new shoes now? I just saw that my IL tax refund has been deposited (just 5 days after e-filing!!).
ChiKat, if you want to drop them off at my place tonight or tomorrow, I've got Goodwill coming over on Thursday for a pickup, including a bunch of my old shoes, too!
I was just looking at the right hand corner of the board, and was wondering if anyone knew if anything had happened to Jeff Meijia. I remember him being ill and his sister posting, but don't know if we heard anything after that.
Just mentioned this in Bitches, thought I should put it here too. I have pics of the Wallybee! I've uploaded a couple of good ones, located here: [link]
Re: the most homophobic country in the world.
Yeah, we suck. Suck more than every other country? Debatable. But we do suck hard. I was told that there are countries that officially sanction murdering homosexuals (Egypt was cited), but I haven't done the fact checking.
I emailed in to work from home today, but I'm so freaking dizzy I've done little.

I can't argue with that analysis. Iraq, for example. Closer to home, there was recently an ugly incident -- with poor police response -- in St. Maarten.
[Edit: Hold on. I'm trying to get a link to the Iraq story. BBC is slow suddenly.]
