I'm with you James. I have asthma, with a combination of hay fever that kicks the shit out of me this time of year.
Fuck pollen in the ass!

It's like not even funny I know i don't have a temp or anything but I still feel worse than I do with a fever or something. I could really go for like 3 oxys right about now.I've been hung over where I thought I was dying from alcohol poisioning and I felt better at that time than I do now. It's fucked up, I know there's no god cause I asked him for an hour to take me so I didn't feel like this laying in bed for an hour after I woke up. I can't remember the last time I was so miserable.

I'm going out on maternity leave in 2 weeks and I finally got my questions answered in terms of what I will get from disability. I plan on returning to work at the end of July but I'm only entitled to 6 weeks of short-term disability pay after my baby is born. I will collect disability from the time I leave work until my baby is born (about 2 weeks) and then another 6-week round will start after she's born.
I don't get shit from the conclusion of that 6 week period and when I go back to work.
The State max for weekly disability pay is about 29.5% of my weekly salary.

Someone in my group asked our Administrative Assistant to make color copies of a document to be handed out at a meeting. She is one of those people who likes to hold the pages down on the copier rather than close the top. So instead of giving him letter sized copies like he wanted, she gave him 11x 17 pages that showed his document on the left edge, with the rest of the page displaying her hands holding the document down.

What an idiot.
We had a receptionist (currently on disability until God knows when) who didn't get the concept of using the bypass tray for printing on labels, letterhead, etc. so she would put such items in the main tray only to get mad when somebody else's stuff would print on her materials.

I could have told you that about the disability/maternity leave stuff. If you work for a company with under 50 employees, there are no federal laws with maternity leave, and even then, they only have to hold your job.

Most companies I have been privvy to allow 6 weeks maternity leave - at FULL PAY. If you have a C section, you end up with like, 12 weeks.

Legally, you're protected by FMLA which protects your job for 12 weeks but in terms of disability coverage, you get 6 weeks of coverage (50% salary, up to $405 a week) for natural delivery and 8 weeks for a c-section. The only way to have that coverage extended is if there are complications that would prevent me from returning to work. I work for a 70-person firm.

Disability pays the salary. A company that gives full pay during maternity leave is offering a very nice and generous benefit. It's not a requirement.

REALLY FUCKING PISSED with MLB.com right now.
I've been a loyal GameDay Audio subscriber for years and every year there's always an issue on opening day.
This year, my ENGLISH links to GameDay Audio broadcasts are attempting to bring up the fucking VIDEO player. I'm not a motherfucking MLB.TV subscriber, I'm an AUDIO subscriber....so naturally the authentication fails.
The only Audio link I can bring up is the god damned Yankees Spanish broadcast...I don't speak espanol!
FUCK!

No. I am not pushing the wrong button. The RIGHT button is bringing up the WRONG media player.

MLB Extra Innings package on Directtv, can't go wrong. I'm getting every game and am not missing anything this year, especially when it comes to my fantasy team. The only issue I have on Opening Day is the fucking rain.

Put in my order for the baseball package tonight, and watched some Vin Scully calling the Dodgers and the Padres, and some Tigers / Jays action. Also caught some of that dumper of a Yankee game.

Every time I go to nexdef, it fails. There's a mutiny happening on the mlb.com support forum. EVERYONE is having problems and all they're saying is 'try restarting your computer' I dont pay for HD to have it NOT work , and then the regular version short out every 5 minutes. I'm watching the red sox v. Rays game right now.... with no sound!

I'm using the Premium, just upgraded to nexdef, and it rocks!
Though I did see the message board for tech support with everyone pissed off about everything. I need all the games archived the next day in the worst way and they only have three full games. Hopefully the bugs will be fixed by tomorrow. Jw

I'm on that forum too....it's anarchy over there. I love the fact the MLBSUPPORT claims many fixes have been implemented. NOT FOR ME, and not for the others who have had no functionality with this dogpile of a media player. My experience with this player...just now: --- click on the KCSP link (Royals / White Sox in the WHO CARES Game of the week). --- Player launches, opens log-in prompt --- I enter my email address and pwd, click submit --- login screen/player hangs indefinitely --- I click F5 to refresh --- Media Player screen refreshes, and I get the following screen: --- After several seconds of "verfiying", I get the following screen and wouldn't you know it...NO SOUND (why am I getting an error related to VIDEO when I'm trying to launch an AUDIO stream, I don't know): This occurs on ALL LINKS WHICH LAUNCH THE NEW MEDIA PLAYER. Spanish links still work just fine, with old Media Player

Every time I go to download nexdef, it goes all the way through installation and then tells me that it has to close. I dont know what the problem is, but apparently a lot of people are having that same one. at least my sound works now... I go from this: to this:
