Rather than asking your HR department, you might ask your OB (who has probably filled out the forms a bazillion times).

That is a truly excellent idea. Thank you!

I'm also considering calling everyone I know in the UK office and begging for a job over there.

Even if they're technically an overseas company and not New York

Heh - New Company is based in Denver. My wonderful socialist Auntie Beeb gives US employees 8 weeks paid (+ up to 12 w/ PTO or FMLA).

{{{Jessica}}} I can imagine how stressful this must be. I agree that it just can't be legal. I mean, I'm having a c-section and my hospital stay alone is 3-4 days. Nobody could return to work after 2 days. I am furious on your behalf.

How was Mt. Diablo, megan?

I got the widget one right away. The pond one I was actually gonna do math for and stuff before I said, "Self, you have a migraine. Stop trying to be smart right now and just look at the spoilered answers already."

The ball and bat one stumped me at first -- a lot of the difficulty of those questions is getting locked in on the framing of the elements instead of breaking it down.

Brain the size of a planet, and I'm trying to get a job as a cashier. Maybe I'd be better off parking cars, at least it would be outdoor work....
