Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

'Shindig'


Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

I may have to seize the cat.

ita, I would wear pastels more if I could find 50s sundresses that would fit me. Especially if they were sea foam green or lavender. I do have the perfect brown shoes (for me). They're flats. And they aren't made anymore. Which is sad because I have them in both brown and black, and the black ones are worn out. So I have to get new black flats, and I can't get these perfect ones anymore.

I've started incorporating a lot more brown into my wardrobe in the past few years than ever before.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Two days? How is that even possible?

That sounds like our Paternity leave policy...but moms get more time.

Crazy.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Two days? Two mother fucking days?

Check with HR on FMLA, Jess. Of course the unpaid part sucks.

That is just utter bullshit.

Ah yes, the craptacity of parental leave policies. The small companies I have worked for were willing to adhere to FMLA, but I put off the adoption work 2 times because of changing jobs and needing to get in a year with each to even qualify for it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The NY office has less than 50 employees, and I'll have been there less than a year so FMLA doesn't apply.

Well, in a word, fuck.

I think, IIRC, that your tenure with Old Company should apply in this instance since New Company bought it. Let me do some more digging.

Also, you might want to check into purchasing an AFLAC individual claim. A friend used it and they pay you pretty quickly. I just sent away for info on it, just in case.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I tore up eBay a couple years ago. The jewel of my collection is a pink one with a white--dammit, what's it called with the little cutout patterns and the embroidery? I'm blanking on the term--panel down the front. And then I have other pastel shirt dresses. I don't know what came over me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think, IIRC, that your tenure with Old Company should apply in this instance since New Company bought it.

Technically, they didn't. It's a strategic business partnership. New Company is offering some of Old Company's employees positions there out of the goodness of their hearts.

That sounds very much like the word I was brainfarting on, yes. Thank you.
