Haha my coworkers think I'm an asshole because I don't think parents should be entitled to their full salary for 18 months of mat leave. Yes, yes, having children is hard, blah blah blah, but it's also a choice and it's not like we particularly need more people in the world. Canada already offers 55% of salary up to something like $1400 per month, paid by the government, plus baby bonuses. I don't think it would be fair for new parents to get paid their full salary when they're not even working (don't @ me about how you're still working to take care of a baby), and those of us who don't want kids have to pick up the slack. I support mat leave, I also support you managing your own damn finances if you choose to have a kid.
If that makes me an asshole, fine. I'm an asshole.
Also, unrelated, I forgot to pick up more water so now I'm irritated because I don't want to go back out.
Alsoalso, we got our reviews today and I got a 3.9 while the idiot who literally pissed off one of our biggest clients so bad that the retired CEO personally came to complain about her got a 4.25. So essentially the reviews are arbitrary and useless and I refuse to put any effort into improving when my review was like, 7 sentences total about how my work is fine. No goals to improve on, no notes about anything I do particularly well.

It has been seven hours, and I still don't know where the bathrooms are at new job. Also, they want me to fill out all the financial paperwork by the end of business but I can't log in to the software.

Re: How Was Your Day Thread V5
Received good news today. My SSI was approved and I'll get full benefits and Medicare.. but it may take months yet before the checks start coming in due to all the red tape and beauaracy. At least I did win my court case.
I am in the process of moving house, so I will not be around much for the foreseeable future.

Congratulations! I know how that fight can be. FWIW, my son got his first check fairly quickly.CinnaminDraconna wrote:Received good news today.

I’ll add that neither my wife or I have, want, or even particularly LIKE kids, but we both totally support all incentives that improve the lives of both children AND their parents. When children are well loved and properly cared for, they grow into well adjusted adults and it’s an overall plus for society as a whole.
Congratulations! I know that can be a difficult fight. My wife has to go down that road soon and neither one of us is looking forward to it.CinnaminDraconna wrote:Received good news today.

Click threads don't really get stuff hatched fast though but is better than nothing.

Re: How Was Your Day Thread V5
The click threads do tend to move pretty fast during events, which will help hatch things a LOT faster. It’s how we all did it *before* the IFN
There’s the second off site hatchery: http://www.pethatchery.co.uk/
As well as Yarold’s and Twitter.
Maybe not as *effortless* as just popping them into the IFN, but my eggs are still hatching quite fast using those four methods.
