JZ, I think you SHOULD call in sick for your last week, especially since your boss has your back. Any angst or challenges that your co-workers might feel really should be addressed to HR, who fucked the entire thing up in the first place. I'm sorry, but you deserve to have straight answers from HR, since it's their JOB. They're supposed to be employee advocates and instead they crapped all over you.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Also, JZ, that does suck. I lost just 5 days of sick time when I was promoted (apparantly I was promoted to a level that has unlimited sick time, but we don't get paid for it at the end of the year). and I was angry. 300 would make me crazy, although I think it is the norm.

You know, I hear stories like this, and I wonder, how come Buffistas aren't running the world?
We spend too much time on the internet.

Also, world domination is a lot harder than it looks.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
All I want to do is run over to LUSH, get some bath stuff, get home, clean the cat puke off the rug AGAIN, light a bunch of good smelling candles, and soak in a tub.
My face is totally broken out in a rash, AGAIN.
Also, I need to finish the chapter I'm working on called The Atheist's Guide to Tragedy.
Unless Sophia's coworker can hook me up with some good paragraphs. ahhh ha ha

The Atheist's Guide to Tragedy.
I am interested in this chapter!
We have been without internet at work all week. We now have the perfect storm. Work piled up from internet being gone, mortgage rules changes that go in effect today, national conference next week and a big event the weekend we get back.
I have decided to cease to care and just let the sea take me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Parents writing papers? Mine would drive me to the library to do reasearch (though that ended when I got my driver's license). And if I had to interview an expert in something or other for a school assignment, they'd arrange for me to talk to a suitable friend or co-worker.
Once I got to college? Forget it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Christ, will this day never end??
Mine did, rather abruptly, when I got sick and then went home.
Maybe that's not what you meant though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Home from company holiday lunch.
Very full. Sleepy.
