Add me to the ranks of the unemployeed...
For 13 months that is...
Today was my last shift in the ER and I am off on short term illness for work until I give birth  Then Mat leave for a year to raise the Squirmy. An hour into it and I started kinda panicking. I feel a need to work, but my body is failing me and it's getting a bit dangerous in the ER. I warned a patient today if he as so much as touched me, I am hitting him back. Got a baby bump to protect. I'm sure I'll get used to this "not working" thing eventually. But it goes against my grain since I was 15. I'm sure in a year I wont want to go back. Someone drink a beer for me please. I am having a def tea... Kirsty |

canada You recieve EI 345/week) but a lot of companies top it up (mine does). It can be taken by the mom or dad, or split up between the two... Last edited by Apoc; 06-18-2009 at 10:56 PM.. |

Mat leave is 17 weeks (pretty well 93% of my total pay - employer provided/topped up with EI) the other 34/35 weeks is EI. We're pretty lucky and have worked hard for this over many years. Gotta thank the women and men that came before me for this. I can't imagine heading back to work 6 weeks to 3 months after having a baby. I wouldn't want to hand my infant over to someone else to raise if I didn't have to. Not everyone has this opportunity up here. Financially we can handle it so might as well And I might just go nuts. I'll have to think of this as a sabatical.

Damn a whole year thats nice, most of our peeps here go 6 to 12 weeks and are back working.
One of the other PA's just went out, shes about 5 months and is on bedrest now. last year she was at about 5 plus months and lost the baby so were hoping this one goes well. Tom |

congrats. you may go crazy without working until you have the little bugger, then your going to feel like your running your butt off and want to go to work for a break.
you'll have a blast. carpet creepers are a lot of fun.
