Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.

I saw that last night on the news. Yay for the good guys!

Would someone please make me a cup of tea? So tired this morning. Have waken the sleeping boy, fed dog and cat, and started my morning work processes. Now that my butt is on the couch again I can't quite manage the energy to get up. The room temp tap water next to me is not doing the trick.

Dude, this is exactly why places have sick day banks. Arrrgh!

Tea has happened. The mention of the 'yay for humans' sports story reminded me to show DH the story since I knew he hadn't seen any news. Yep, tears all round.

Seriously, Emily. As if being sick in the hospital isn't punishment enough.

KT, concentrate on getting better, and try to let go of the sick day thing. You can, unfortunately, do nothing about it, but if you rest and take care of yourself you'll have fewer unpaid days than if you stress and push yourself too hard to go back too soon.

The student worker didn't show up this a.m. I'm pretending to be a circulation librarian.

not your mom's socks.

What about short-term disability? Does that kick in at some point?

Now tagless for your comfort.

STD usually doesn't kick in until after 30 days, unfortunatey.

KT, don't stress about the money--just concentrate on getting better.

I have tea and the phone's internet seems to be working.

OK, this brought a tear to my eye. Even if you aren't a sports fan, this is beautiful:

Okay, this...made it worth it to be a human today.

Actually, it depends on the coverage.

For instance, most of the voluntary STD available through where I work kicks in 1 day after an accident or 8 days after sickness, presuming "total disability" (so messed up you cannot work).

I don't know what KT has, but if she has voluntary STD benefits, she may want to look at the terms of her coverage.

FMLA is also good for, as she said, ensuring her job is still there if she's out too long and maintaining her seniority. Plus, you know, partial paid leave.
