transpaoYay! So here's how today has gone so far...
I got up at 4:30 and drove in to work. I decided that even if my doctor's note was for yesterday and today It was probably in my best interest to make the effort to go in and show willing... ya know?
Well while not a mistake as such... They refused to let me work. One the one hand I think I did show willing and prove that point as well as give them two doctors notes to prove the point that I wasn't just fucking off when I called in sick. I was also able to fill in some FMLA paper work though again I ran up against the 12 month issue but at least I've got that ball rolling too. I also had my Supervisor print out my time record for the entire time I've been there, So that I can go back to my physicians and get something to validate the days that I don't have doctor's notes for because I didn't realize I needed them...
So I drove home and read a bit and then took a nap because I didn't get to sleep until 11 or later last night and I needed it.
Then I began making phone calls. I've called 3 of my doctors. Called my FSA people and got them to reissue a $220 check that has gone amiss. I just thought of two other medical professionals that I probably need to call and see what dates I saw them and if they have documentation I can get. I need to give Ovita in HR a call... Over all I think I've got quite a bit accomplished and I'm feeling pretty good about things.
I've been out 8 days and a few hours in nearly 7 months.. 10 if I include yesterday and today. I know for a fact I had Doctors appointments or medical notes for at least 5 likely 6 and probably more. I think it is very likely that I am also going to be able to get a statement from my doctors showing what they have been treating me for, which will prove to be long term chronic illnesses. I'm pretty sure HR is going to LOVE me, I know my supervisor does.
OH I also need to call the GA Tech registrar and figure out how to apply... I'd really like to get my Biology degree from tech and they can't refuse to let me tack classes if i no longer work there... they can refuse to pay for them but at the moment I just wanna get in and I'm not so much worried about how to pay.
