*angry grumbling*
I finally get a response from the FMLA people and it's "Oh, but why didn't you submit the paperwork on time? Be detailed explaining it!"
Detailed. In 1000 characters? Are you nuts? I'm a freaking writer--I can't be detailed in 1000 characters!
*huff*
The initial 2000 character response was pared down to 860 characters but if they quibble I'm giving it to them both barrels.
