26. That is handy. It never would've even occurred to me that one could get paid while doing that.
Those Federal Employees.... they get all the perks. Except health insurance for partners.

I take it all back now. Being able to use ... wait, so now same sex partners will be able to take time off work... to care for sick Federal Employees?... or now the Federal Employees can take time off for same sex partners... which they couldn't do before?... I guess I've just toiled in the gutters for too many years... I don't understand.
