Well what has been happening to me, that is a real good question. I took some time off through the FMLA, for a foot surgery I had to get done. I doc told me I had to stay none weight bearing for 6-8 weeks. During that time my employer (Les Schwab Construction Co.) of 9 years laid me off,and eliminated my postion. This all happened after the surgery, 3 weeks later. This also made them not have to provide insurance, the day I got the call. I found out that the FMLA leave does not protect you from getting laid off and your job being eliminated. Subsection: 825.216 Limitations on a employee's right to reinstatement. Which I think is total BS. Why is the federal leave documents have all the crap for reinstatement, and then put that in there. Lawyers I'm sure.
So I spent the time till now trying to find a new job, but we all know economy is the way it is. It has been tough, but all will be better someday. The construction field has took a dive everywhere, but I will bounce back. I just hope it is sooner than later. I would like to not have to uproot and move away. So to fill in the days, I am going to start taking more photo's and expanding my photography skills.
The flowers will be out soon. I just love spring, best time of the year. So in the upcoming months I am going to devote some time to this blog, it will be a record of what is going on in my life. I hope you enjoy the days to come.
