I negotiated rather better leave and salary at my current position, because I knew I was the only possibility for the contract firm to fill the slot. Which is nice, except I've burned through most of my leave dealing with my parents (I'm lucky I haven't been sick much this year).
The down side is that if I have to go back to the private sector, I'm afraid the expectations will be fairly high, or that I'll have to take a pay cut.
Maria, I cannot believe your employers, or Dana's. But then I'm astonished that the NY Legislature voted down a bill to require five paid sick days for every full-time employee. Apparently expecting to keep your job after coming down with the flu is too much to be expected in this economy.

I was essentially told a few weeks ago that I was lucky I got time off when Rob died, since I hadn't been there a year yet and wasn't entitled to vacation. There is no bereavement leave.
I'm thinking they're the ones who are lucky you got the time off, as the phrase "given the circumstances, no one would convict her" sounds in my head.

The damn Reds could have used some magic Jameson, I tell you what. (But I gotta say, Cueto is a shit-hot pitcher. With magnificent hair. And we got some serious hustle in Choo.)

(for lisah: if true, still not on my 'hood's wishlist of a walkable bar. Transversing Greenmount on foot -and the time involved- well, we have the Dizz and designated drivers in rotation,but..)

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

So, I don't remember if I told you guys, but I got promoted. It was official today. I'm an Associate Counsel now.
Of course, my imposter syndrome has returned with a vengeance, but apparently, I made it work last time, so we'll see :)
