I don't mean I'm boggled that we have to sign and return our severance forms to receive our severance; obviously I'm on board with making everything legal.
I personally think it should be wads of unmarked bills. Or maybe a briefcase full.

[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.

Steph, you deserve whatever you can pry out of them - you've been there a long time, you've worked under stressful conditions, and you haven't taken an axe to anyone.
Meanwhile, to brighten your day, there's this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Which feels mercenary as hell, and I guess it is
Mercenary, being informed and better able to plan for your future, decent treatment from your long time employers, WHATEVER.

Is it acceptable to tell one's employer to make it rain?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I'm rather encouraged. I talked with her hubby and he sounded worn out but positive. I got her care package in the mail. It ended up with a pink fluffy boa (to brighten her room), some unscented lotion and chap stick (for comfort), a grown up color book (low tech entertainment), colored pencils (to improve her color), a pencil sharpener (to keep her sharp), and a butler bell (for prompt attention). Plus a get well card.
I will be able to see her in a couple of weeks, at the end of our road trip.

Going home that soon after having stents placed is standard procedure. It's invasive, but not even remotely like a bypass. She'll need to take it easy, but she can do that at home -- and will probably be much happier taking it easy at home versus the hospital anyway. That's great news that the procedure went so well!
