Bereavement Leave

Jette is like me. Another Austin-based New Orleans ex-pat tracking her scattered refugee family members while she tries to focus on her job.

She sums it up perfectly:

They don't give you bereavement leave at work when a city dies.

They should. They really should.

I am getting understanding from my boss and my co-workers today, at least. The software release marches on and I'm in the critical path, but at least I'm getting some love.
