Something occurred to me recently.. I would make a good celebrity-type person. I'm really good in short intervals... like I could do a half hour radio show here, or a twenty minute interview there, and appear fantastic and completely put together 'all the time'. Then, afterwards, I could come home and spend the rest of the day in bed, and no one would be the wiser!
I finally got my FMLA filed yesterday, after a month of procrastination. This is a huge weight off my shoulders, as I am now federally protected from getting fired when I have to go home sick or call in. It's an intermittent leave of absence, basically, which consists of 480 hrs (12 weeks/3 months) of which I can take in any increment, at any time, and I no longer need a doctor's excuse or a note from my mommy to make it ok (<--- sarcasm - they wouldn't really accept a note from my mommy anyway.. bastards!) All I have to do when I need to go home or call in is say that I am calling in 'FMLA', and they can't touch me. Considering I've been out of the office more than in the past few weeks due to chronic migraines, this is a really good thing.
