What are you thinking? 9.0

Looks like I'm working thanksgiving so I won't get to shop *sigh*.

I'm hoping to go on a church trip to FL next year so I'm going to let the boss know that I can't work then.  I'm also going to let him know that I won't be able to work for at least two weeks while I'm getting my top surgery done and recovering.  I like to think that I have been pretty loyal to find so I would feel pretty bold about requesting off.....or at least bolder.

You have some protection in taking leave for medical reasons.

Here is a link that defines the federal rules with a comparison for Wisconsin. I realize you are not in Wisconsin but the federal part still applies.

You can look up the rules for your state which may give even more protections than the federal version.

I'd give up on me too.

My name was used by someone to get themselves a job, they did do me a favor recently helping me get somebody else's foot in the door but still. I am friends with him, he is a former work mate, but he still could of asked or at least told me first.  In our job a lot of people know someone who know someone. If he stuffs up it could effect my name and reputation if I leave my current place.

Not sure how I feel about this right now

A lot of people think that way, but if someone makes a mess, the boss is smart enough to know whose fault it is. After all, you didn't make a recommendation, they just dropped your name. I don't think you should worry.

Thanks. Sometimes I have a tendency to be like a mother hen round her chicks, particulary if I was the one to train them. But with the amount of places this guy has worked over the past 12 months and now he is in a very busy location. I'll be a little nervous for a while I think

Big hug! I wouldn't.

Why do I tolerate things so much?

[Danielle Emmalee]

I'm disgusting and a freak.

How horrible is this condition that we have that diagnosing it and then addressing it leads to a worse situation than suffering unaware as often as not.

If I had contracted leprosy at least I could count on some human compassion.

Time to start packing my bags.

Thanks for the link.  It doesn't look too promising for me since the company I'm with is an extremely small business, but hopefully it can somehow still apply.

The compassion exists, here if no where else.

Hugs

50 employees is still pretty small. I was hoping you fit into the eligibility part at least.  Maybe they won't know the law and you can bluff your way to get leave?

I know, thank you. I was in a very bad place when I wrote that.

I just want to have everything out and be done with this eviction and being separated from my son, my cat, and my ex/son's mother. I'm only on here because I needed a break from packing and stressing. I will be back on once I'm at my new temporary home.

Tomorrow evening I could go to a discussion for sexual assault awareness which is guaranteed to trigger flashbacks and panic (it's already causing me panic), but is a subject I feel strongly about and I'll have a friend with me for support. Or I could spend it with my boyfriend. Decisions decisions.

My roommate called me weird this morning. But apparently in a good way.

Agreed......way too early.

I may be driving alone today for the first time. We will see. I'm a bit nervous.
