Thanks, 5 Little Monkeys. I am going to the hospital after work provided that I can get someone to watch my own children.
I pay into EI but can't access it until June because I just registered last June and you have to be registered for 12 months before you can access it. I'm just really tired and super resentful of having to work through this (doesn't help knowing that all of my clients except one are on holidays but their kid is here).
I really need to find out what is going on so I can deal with whatever it is and get on with my life.
