STFU (Shut the F*** UP)

I think I'm a day late, but my funny story may not be funny but it was to me. 

I had to call the Chief Pilots office at my Airline and tell them I have BC.  As a pilot you are removed immediately from flying.  Anyway, I was choked up and having trouble saying it, so it came out a little higher pitched.  So he goes on to tell me how sorry he is and that do I or my family need flight arrangements.  I assumed he was talking about for consults or treatments so I said no, not yet, I think.  He then goes on to say well let me know because we like to send flowers to the funeral and of course we will fly your family out for the funeral.  I was a bit shocked and said , Ok, if we need it?  He continues on about taking as much time as I need and checked my schedule.  Long story shorten, He thought I said death in the family instead of Breast cancer.  When I finallly figured out what he was talking about and corrected him, I think I heard him drop to the floor!!  I thought he was being proactive on my death!!  Oh well, an hour later I was laughing hysterically over it.  

niten, bet that was no way funny at the time!  hope your family NEVER needs that!

Mommyof2, 

Wow, that is awful.

This is exactly why we have a Federal Law called the Family and Medical Leave Act. Does your husband's employer have 50 or more employees? Here's a link to a Dept of Labor fact sheet:

Is he in the Union? State employees usually are and he can ask for protection if they give him grief. Plus, he can take intermittent FMLA. He does not have to take it all at once. Even an hour here and there can be coded FMLA and this protects his job and the jerk boss can't fire him or do anything to him at all for that matter! DOL would be so up his ass if he bothered him for this, he would not know what hit him! You cannot mess with FMLA rights. I take intermittent FMLA and it is easy to get your doctor to sign off on the paperwork which will protect hubby fully. Look into it if you are worried. Then hubby can take his occasional day for you without a single worry!

Mommyof2, That's horrible. This person must really have some problems getting along with others. A few days here and there... should be no big deal. Sorry you have to deal with this.

Great stories here....sorry I missed the party.

M0mmy, that's horrible. What a jerk.

Ok hysterical story.......yesterday my daughter was going to Target........her husband has been in the hospital for 5 days counting today......will be getting out today or tomorrow.............Anways.

Yesterday she was on her cell phone walking into Target an talking to me....she said she was leaving for the hospital about 12pm....I said "ok, pick me up"......(had been going everyday with her)........well anyway she answered..........."Mom you don't have to go, its a long day sitting there, and maybe you can get something done at home"........................I said "oh sure..........I will sit around this fucking house, looking at all the fucking cleaning that has to be done, which I am fucking not capable of doing"................all of a sudden she is laughing her ass off, and he phone goes dead............
