I don't drink coffee

At work, we have several places to get coffee without leaving the building depending on how much of a connoisseur you are. There is the lowest level, the free stuff available in every break room on every floor. The middle level is available only in the mornings in the cafeteria. And the highest level is available in the convenience store is Starbucks. All that said, I often hear "Let's get coffee" when someone wants to talk in the morning. Furthermore, its the same people offering to get coffee with me again and again. It also nearly never fails that they ask, "Aren't you getting coffee?" when I do not myself pick up a cup wherever we end up. I've decided I need a t-shirt or sign in my cube that points out that I don't drink coffee as a reminder to these people. :-)

There should be a rule...

That the first 10 Sunny Days of the year where the weather is between 65-80, you get the day off. Working is difficult on a day like today.

And while I am at it, I want a rule that says all coworkers should have access to natural sunlight in their primary work environment...

FMLA after pregnancy

I thought this was an interesting article on babycenter.com about maternity leave. Check out these restrictions on page 2 as to whether your employer can deny FMLA:
1) You have worked for the last 12 months and at least 25 hrs for 50 weeks in those 12 months.
2) You are in the top 10% of paid in your company
3) You and your spouse work at the same company and both request FMLA

A lot more info on the article online.

**Have no fear if you work with me, I am not considering FMLA. I was just looking this up in case a friend asks :-)
