I decided not to go to work for like two weeks and HR called me in and were all like, girl, why you out? You wanna be fired and shit? And I was all like, you can't do nothin' to me, bitches. ADA! I'm crazy about this old coot in Connecticut. They didn't like it, but they were all like, okay man, good luck with that. Get back to work. True story.
Interestingly enough, my company wanted me to self-identify with HR as having a disability due to my chronic depression. Apparently they score points with the government's hire the disabled programs.
P.S. Your story took place before you got married, right? Hey I'm no homewrecker!
