- my cold, it still lingers;
- last night I forgot to bring home the file I needed for court this morning, and only remembered this morning when I was thirty minutes past my office, causing me to have to turn around and go pick it up, thus back tracking and adding an extra hour to my morning drive;
- my pinkie finger hurts as I somehow slammed it in between my car door and the mirror of the car next to me in the courthouse parking garage;
- my case that was set for ten o'clock was not heard until eleven thirty so I got to stand around in tall, uncomfortable shoes for an hour and a half;
- the first thing that I was greeted with when I walked into my office this afternoon was a client grievance sitting on the top of my desk; or
- I am being offered two weeks, unpaid, as my maternity leave.

Hope you feel better soon.
How about option g. all of the above?
2 weeks unpaid maternity? That's shitty! Is there anyone I can write to about that ridiculousness!
Two weeks! That is crazy!
Any and all of the above, I would definitely try looking for a new job to start immediately after you finish maternity leave. Even with no complications, there's no guarantee you'll be ready to head back to work - especially in "tall, uncomfortable shoes" - after just two weeks!! Pity the place you work is too small for FMLA, or apparently any other labour laws to apply.
