my manager called me yesterday. as of may 4th, starbucks is no longer offering catastrophe pay, which essentially means i have to go back to work. he gave me a number to call to try to get that extended, or at least make it so i get to keep my job (i'm fine not getting paid for not being there, it's amazing that i'm still getting paid after not being there for over a month now).
also, uh, keep this on the DL, but the reason i'm so on edge about returning to a job where i have to interact with the public is that sarah is pregnant. it took three rounds of IVF, and this one finally worked. she's at just over 8 weeks right now, and the last thing i want to do is risk picking up this virus and giving it to her. so that's part of why i've been so freaked out about it. also, we haven't really told anyone (not even her parents; my parents don't even know we've been trying) except my manager and her boss so it makes it a little complicated to get people to understand why i'm so paranoid.
