I see. I'm surprised she can take 3 months of unpaid leave though. Wow. Why not say she is going on leave for 3 months and leave it at that. She might just need an overall break.

Jessica,
yes, but she may want to distinguish, is what I mean. I think a general name is more appropriate but clearly the person in question had a need to differentiate.
I don't know.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Is anyone else watching Orphan Black? Are we chattering about it somewhere?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am taking a week's vacation when I bring NewDog home, but that's mostly because I really need a week's vacation.

With the meetings I'm having, I'm tentatively getting more excited about the job I'll be moving to. I think I'll be able to shape policy and drop the hammer on some stuff. I'll totally be leveling up on the number of bad guy life ruinings!

Trudy, there's been talk of it in Boxed Set, which seems appropriate.
Consuela, as a computer programmer which is often VERY specialized, you'd be surprised how many helpful people are recommending me jobs which have something vaguely to do with computers. Best you can do is smile and say thanks, because the good intent is at least there.
Your poor clients are going to be so screwed, alas.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I have no idea what she said to HR or her boss - this was just an announcement within our project team this morning. I know her wife and she is definitely the more classically "maternal" of the two.
There is so much work on my plate today but I can't touch most of it because I need additional information from people who aren't answering. So flipping frustrating.

Yay for NewDog, Lee!
