While I was at home yesterday in a Promethazine-induced sedation, apparently my boss approached the assistant I hired (to replace myself, unbeknownst to him) and queried if she thought she'd be able to do my job...seeing as how I'd be taking a couple of months off for the baby.
First of all: my maternity leave is unpaid. UNPAID. WHO THE FUCK IS GOING TO TAKE TWO MONTHS OF UNPAID LEAVE OFF ON MY SALARY? My husband ain't rich. Even if he were, it wouldn't be a couple of months - it be for-fucking-ever. I'm not working just to be out of the house, ya know.
My assistant, being fully up to speed on why I take sudden absences and knowing that I'm starting a new job next month, merely said, "Uh...Uh huh" and informed me of his transgression this morning. She stated to him that she really doesn't know what I do, and he told her to "talk to me." See, he doesn't even know what I do. He just knows HE ain't doing it.
Oh, boy, oh, boy - just wait. I think I'll go ahead and give notice on next Wednesday instead of Friday so that when we're putting in payroll I can say, "Oh, you know TL should be here, because I'm not going to be here next month. Or the month after. Or ever."
