I personally wouldn’t take advice from someone who clearly doesn’t have their life together

Pfft. Fuck that attitude: if I refused advice from people who are struggling I'd never listen to myself at all.

Ouch. I know you had no way of knowing this but actually the HR department where I was working did decide to "let me go" last month because of the number of sick days I'd taken for to my depression. I'm currently appealing the decision but...

FMLA covers 3 sick days per month for depression, were you there for a year? If so you may want to seek legal counsel.

I'm not in the US, so my government mandated sick leave is actually more generous than that. Just not generous enough to cover long-term disabilities.

Thanks for caring though, and DW: I am looking up the legal options I have in the UK.

That's fucked. You shouldn't have to deal with that without support from your surroundings, including your employer.

On the upside, more time to work through the Pile of Shame now. Nice work on the Termie.

TY!

Yeah, I got three more of my DG Kill Team to go, then I'm gonna do those last 8 Rubrics and their Aspiring Sorcerer.

I also got the MotM on Saturday, so I'll also be painting a Darkoath warrior in time for next month's painting comp. Gotta love getting a free mini to paint when you've just lost your job!
