fantastic. Insurance moment in Treme. No paying out on hurricane insurance because it hasn't been proved the floods were caused by the hurricane. It sounds so very very familiar.
Do anything to get out of paying. Do anything anything to pay less and always have a loophole.
Really getting in to the episodes.

Another Scan
Last week - before the great yawn I had a scan. All is well and we know the sex of the baby. Now all I need to do is get bigger and get the house ready.
Yawn
I work on the 9th floor of a glass building. There is no air-con and the windows open about 10degrees. There are not too many of these opening windows. So you can imagine when it gets hot or even warm in Summer everyone breaks out their little desk fans which helps bit. It gets very hot and close around our pod. Also I am five months pregnant so I tend to get over heated and tired easily.
Anyway the other day I got shouted at for yawning. From the middle of our open plan office. Quite a bit away from my desk. By a manager 2 steps ahead of me on the ladder of corporate hell. I pretty much ignored what was said because it was rude to shout at me and a pretty childish thing to do.
The whole team got into trouble after I had left for the day for talking. They were brought into the office and dressed down. Then a week later it was brought up again in the team meeting. Now my direct manger (back from her hols) keeps talking about yawning and how it shows nobody cares about the job. She keeps checking if the windows are open. This is over week after the great yawn took place.
This has to be one of the most ridiculous things that has happened to me where I work. It has stressed me out which I think is connected to being pregnant because usually I wouldn't care about these little things. Just over two months to go thankfully.

Taking the money and running
Redundancy is scary. Volunteering for redundancy does give me a slight sense of control but still makes me wobble at the knees a bit.
Funny how I was offered one leave date at first and now it has been altered to just before I would apply for maternity leave. Our dear leaders have finally figured out they don't have to pay my maternity and can push me to go before hand. They have done this to everyone who is pregnant for around the same time. Moral...never let anyone know you are pregnant until you have to. Anyway I freaked at first as the leave is worth thousands. Then again it is not worth as much as the PFO payment.
And I hate the job, the work, the industry. I made a suggestion to my boss the other day which could potentially save money and make for more accurate reporting. The boss immediately started to talk across me and tell me how we do things now and that way is best. The boss had no interest in my suggestion and never will have any interest in my suggestions. I realised that I needed to leave there and then. Several thousand will not make me happier or more productive.
My particular place of work is so despised by staff that they were over subscribed for voluntary redundancy at a time of serious unemployment.
I am going to leave. Take a chance for once. I cannot wait.
