So, basically, nothing has changed.  All the hot air about "forgiving time" is nothing at all.  I'm getting nickle and dimed to death on my time because the pair of them is having a power struggle, and Dr. D has said no vacation during school.  I don't think that's legal.

I'm still trying to get FMLA.

And so, I am late getting in to work, and I called SG (Administrative Secretary) to let them know I was on my way and would be late, but when I got here, I discovered that TH refused to let SG tell B, even though B was at lunch when I called and she wouldn't have gotten the call.

Now I'm confused about how I'm supposed to let people know I'm going to be late.  Before all this game playing, I was to let B know and if I couldn't get B, let Circ or Ref know.  Now, I don't know what to do.

This is getting too complicated. Looks like I'm going to go ask for FMLA again. Maybe that will shut them up.

Today

Well, it's been a while. Haven't gotten around to post about issues, not that there haven't been issues. Now B is no longer in control here. We have a new person in charge. A little touchy to deal with at times.

Today, I'm pretty frustrated. Probably the most frustrated I've ever been in this place. Mom is in the rehab center and is not being very cooperative. They are discharging her on Wednesday, and I didn't know if I even had coverage from Mel for those days when I went to work. I asked for 3 vacation days and Dr. D had said no vacation during school in session - how is heck am I going to take care of her if I can't use my vacation time if I need it? I guess I need to sign up for FMLA just to be able to take the vacation time I actually earned.

 I have a call in to the Attorney. Haven't heard back yet.
