[QUOTE="slsh, post: 145393, member: 8"] to do a woman's job. :tearinghair:Honestly, I don't know how the man functions. husband has every other Friday off (plus 4 weeks vacation) and I work at least 6 days a week and have no vacation - since he was off, made sense (somehow) that he could handle discharge today.
