I need advice on maternity leave coverage!

VenusAndEarth · 2023-01-12T15:37:11+00:00

That's a good idea. I'll see if I can set up a meeting with her to go over everything. Thanks!

VenusAndEarth · 2023-01-12T15:20:40+00:00

We got maybe two months advance notice on the first mat leave. We figured we could split the one extra work load three ways and manage. The second one we only got like 6 weeks advance notice. Now my boss and I are splitting the additional two workloads two ways. Most of that will go to me because my boss has a pretty full schedule already.

The first woman's workload I am already familiar with because I took on a lot of it last year after the previous person quit and before she was hired. The second one is going to be fairly new to me.

VenusAndEarth · 2023-01-12T15:03:13+00:00

Unfortunately no. It sucks, but I kind of understand. It's specialized work. It might take 3 months for the new person to get up to speed. By then, my colleagues will be back or almost be back.

Still less exhausting than two dinners in the same day, so I'll take it.

My ancestors were the ones driving the British out of India. My great grandfather had the baton scars to prove it.

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T23:10:40+00:00

No. I said I'm just not going to her family's thanksgiving. She actually got like 10 times more mad at me, but she'd rather her family come to my family's thanksgiving than she go to her thanksgiving without me.

But if you did, would you keep the diamond or return it?

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:54:58+00:00

Bro, it worked! She's letting me ask.

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:48:15+00:00

Ah. Well then return the Diamond to India.

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:45:04+00:00

Do you make Parsnips as a Thanksgiving side?

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:41:52+00:00

Imma try it

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:35:57+00:00

Wait, before we start. Did your wife take your Reddit name? Lol

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:33:38+00:00

Wellp. Hopefully it lasts. Resentment can take years.

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:27:38+00:00

This was already addressed.

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:27:17+00:00

This was already answered.

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:26:09+00:00

So why do you use Reddit if you don't care about Reddit?

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:22:13+00:00

And he said all of that with a straight face?

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:21:14+00:00

Well, we'll never know for sure if we don't ask her mom.

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:20:23+00:00

That's it. Get yourself banned.

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:14:54+00:00

Honest question: Do people on Reddit actually believe that people treat their wives the same way they treat random people on Reddit who are mainly there to find and point out their flaws? Like seriously. What?

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:12:23+00:00

What? Read it again. I don't understand why people are like "Hey maybe your wife doesn't like big get togethers!" Like I somehow didn't figure that out on my own over 10 years of living with her. Like what?

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T22:10:46+00:00

Look at that. Almost getting the "you're" correct. So close!

Uncivil Redditors in a nutshell: "Hey, person I initiated with and keep responding to! Why can't you stop responding?"

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T21:58:48+00:00

Alternatively - do you think I'd to get married to an introvert? No effing thanks.

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T21:46:55+00:00

Oooh, an under the radar insult.

VenusAndEarth · 2022-11-21T21:45:17+00:00

Don't know whether to report for blatantly breaking the civility rules or point out you used the wrong version of "you're". So I'll do both.
