I'm Actually Surprised That This System Allowed Sharing. My Stepmom Got Really Sick With A Mystery Ailment,

I'm actually surprised that this system allowed sharing. My stepmom got really sick with a mystery ailment, which, when finally was figured out over a year and a half later, was a rare bacterial infection that had eaten some of the bones in her spine because it was left to rage in her body so long.

She had a lot of sick and vacation days accumulated, as she'd been at her job over 20 years, and was allowed to roll them over to the next year if they weren't used, and since her job was a desk job, she didn't take a lot of time off.

As the sickness got worse, she took more and more days off and eventually burned up all the time she'd accrued over the time she'd worked there. Her coworkers, some of whom she'd worked with since the beginning, tried to donate a week of sick days or PTO each. There were many in the office and a few from the crew that did the meter readings that tried to donate time.

The powers that be said hell naw. Not unless you can convince everyone to donate. Since there were a few people who didn't want to, and should have had to, to be perfectly honest, it was not allowed.

My stepmom eventually got on disability, because they had to rebuild the upper part of her spine with a cadaver armbone so that she can still walk on her own, but it's hard for her to stand for long periods of time. Even that was an exercise in patience, since they tried to refuse her the disability the first time.

Assuming equal technical prowess, well, I'm picking Trip for the eye candy. But also, for the polite Southern gentleman thing. Since I'm a lady Captain, he's probably gonna put up less of a fight with me.

If you're in the mood, reblog for sample size!

Please reblog and add your nationality in the tags along with what you answered! I'm very curious about this; and it's not to shame anybody, so don't be rude!

A point for things I've never done then my grand total is ...let's see here... a big fat goose egg! 0, zilch, nada! I've done everything on that list and multiple time for most of them. #I'maninternetdinosaur!!! #Rawr
