(morning writing)

There is a company that documents my ITP related absences so my employer can have evidence that they honored the terms of the FMLA law if they fire me.

Yesterday's victory over CYA bureaucracy was finding how to get my absences for the ITP described in such a way that they are approved. I wrote my doctor this morning

I called and spoke to the analyst who said that you should send back in the same paperwork and write in the margins "Certified for absences and appointments as medically necessary since 3 March 2025" followed by the date, your initials, and to sign the paperwork again.

I cussed A LOT after finding this out.

woman you are preaching to the CHOIR!!! Holy hell I have become SO anal retentive/OCD about ANYTHING medical anymore that it's a borderline compulsion at this point and if I don't take care of things to my level of satisfaction I have a panic attack
I'm glad it sounds like this was an easier solution and doesn't involve 122989049 more forms to fill out (I have a Love/Hate relationship with FMLA at this point)

There was much cussing. Obviously they aren't going to make "Just approve everything" an option on the blankety blank form, because they have to pretend to police things. But geeze louise. This level of pretense is impressive.

It's all scams. Suck as much money out of health care as possible.
