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.

To qualify for FMLA, you have to be working for a year.

And be working for a relatively large employer - over 50 employees, IIRC.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I think if you have a c-section they don't bother looking at your vajayjay; certainly, once it became clear that Matilda wasn't getting out that way, nobody spared mine so much as another glance.

My hospital also had really good food, a fully-stocked mini-kitchen on each floor, and a milk-and-cookies cart every afternoon at 4. Which also should be standard of care, dammit.

I still want to smite the shit out of everyone at Sparky's uni.

And oh, God, Gris, that's awful.

Yeah, well take a look at family leave policies, insurance, unemployment, and cost of raising kids.

That is what the fuck is up.

This, x1000.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Gris, financial reasons. We are a one-income household right now, and any substantial unpaid leave would be catastrophic.

I'd qualify for FMLA after a year, and the company has a total of 200 employees.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I also just got a bill from the 60-mile ambulance ride from one hospital to the other. I couldn't refuse, as my leg had to be kept up, and my IV was in. $2000

Daniel, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this. I wish you could just concentrate on getting well.

With any luck, I will hit my $4,500 individual out of pocket limit soon. ...before it resets in January...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

oh and now a group wants to repeal sick day policies because they don't serve corporate interests.

Good grief, Daniel. I'm sorry.
