Hey Beth, do you need the cat carrier? (see my post above). I am taking stuff to donate today, so let me know ASAP.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

[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.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Cat carrier I have
I've wanted something like this since we've moved into this house -- we need someplace to put them when they are ill , or when we need to keep them out of a construction zone. Our house only has one bathroom, so I can't do what I did at other houses.

Yeah, I've definitely worked at places where the policy was, if you were taking more than X number of sick days, you needed a doctor's note (usually 5, I think). Even though it was sick and vacation in the same pot, they wanted if you were going to be out UNEXPECTEDLY (sick), to know it was real (I don't know that this policy was necessarily enforced--if someone came back with a big cast on their leg or whatever). If it was vacation, they'd know ahead of time, you'd have asked for it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy Birthday, Drew.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A really clever marketing/sponsorship deal?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My work now differentiates between "scheduled" vacation or sick leave and "unscheduled." Scheduled has to be approved by your supervisor 3 days in advance. Too many unscheduled of either kind in one month and you can get in trouble. So goes the theory, anyway.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I remember my last job, where I was *in the hospital* and took about a week of sick days. Boss was even nice enough to visit. And the corner office said I still needed some proof/note from the doctor. I gave them the hospital bill.
