>>28015283>>28015415Nope, northern yuropoor. But really, the point isn't that I couldn't have taken more days off if I wanted to, its that I didn't feel the need.
According to studies, isolating yourself for months when something bad happens will only make things worse. It's better to go back to your normal life as soon as possible.
>>28015477Do you know what the terms are at your current place of work? Like I said above, I could probably get more time off if I felt like I needed it, but it would be outside the standard and I didn't think it was necessary.
>>28015600I'm sure I could do that as well, but I feel like you're missing my point, which is that I wouldn't ask for an entire month for a parent, much less a dog. 2 days was enough for me, but I could sympathize with someone taking a couple of weeks for a parent. (People react differently to things.) But an entire month for a dog? That's taking it a bit too far.
