I don’t get any sick days either.
But I do get 25 days off. That’s PTO. EPTO is if I’m out for more than 6 days straight. That’s like another 20 days but most people never use it. And you need a doctors note, etc.

I get like 2 weeks vacation, and 2 weeks PTO or something like that?
It’s not bad. But it’s still March. I’m not about to use it all on the flu this early in the year.

no one gets the flu from a flu shot, some just get sick for a few days from it

If it was a red Jetta it was not me for sure, I know this because I’m driving a black '97 Eclipse.
The Jetta is sitting in my driveway missing a front end.
If you feel like giving me $2500 to fix it so that you may have the chance of seeing me cruising around East Greenbush in it, I won’t fight you. Actually, I would love you.

See ours run from September to September…so I’m pretty much halfway through the year when it comes to using my days.

Have you been under a rock man?
Nicole drives 45 on I-90, semi truck drives 80 on I-90, wind from semi truck spins Nicole off the road and into a guard rail, insurance company says “we don’t care that your due date is today and you just paid us, we’re not covering your accident” - so now Nicole is stuck with a busted ass Jetta she can’t afford to fix, and a burning oil, blown suspension, automatic, 2G Eclipse.

Not many jobs will encourage, or even allow you to do your school work while you’re working.
It’s a great, stable school job.
I know it doesn’t help my experience record much, but the fact that I’ve been here for 4 years must mean something.
I get 10 vacation this year, my fourth year too, which is cool.

Lawyer up.
If your coverage didn’t lapse then they absolutely have to pay you.

According to them it DID lapse, but I don’t get how it lapsed when it was due THAT DAY. Is there some insurance company secret that I’m missing?

You’re missing something, but it’s no secret. We’ve been over this and I’d still bet you money that you’re covered, but you refuse to investigate it further and would rather pay out of pocket.

you are covered until after the due date. So if you wrecked on the due date then you are still covered.
