Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

5 weeks would be hard, Kate. I say take more time even if it's unpaid if you can afford it.

Sadly, I think most people I know have only gotten maybe 6 weeks paid (and usually supplemented that with vacation or whatever, and used FMLA for some unpaid time too)

I had 10 weeks paid leave, but I think 6 weeks is more common.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I get irrational and stupidly angry about the insurance issue. Disallowing an appendectomy?? WTH?

Having an appendix is a pre-existing condition.

Well, of course! I should have totally thought of that.

Oh, I can't imagine going back after only 5 weeks, and we're lucky to have enough in savings to make it feasible for me to take several weeks unpaid. I just hate that the official paid leave is so little. Somehow I thought that 12 weeks was common, but now I'm not sure where I got that number.

I have nothing but the highest respect for the doctors and nurses I've worked with (with one or two exceptions), but I wish the committees that decide which ailments and conditions are covered would come down with those same conditions and have to use our insurance.

Indeed.
It does not help that Congresspeople in D.C. have top notch insurance and day care. As well they should, mind you, but please have a little perspective.
