I’ve got the forms to request FMLA for a few weeks prior to birth. But now I’m at a loss as to what to fill out. I can barely sit and do work for any period of time, brain fog is causing me to mix up deals or forget,decent levels of fatigue, and my back is in excruciating pain. But chalk it up to the gunner in me but it’s hard to put this down as reasons to actually take leave. I also have no idea how to describe the essential job functions (sit at computer and read screens all day?). Any ideas?

Have an honest conversation with you OBGYN..I basically told her that I was unable to sit for long periods of time, and I would get headaches from staring at screen for long periods etc. She was able to write it up in a way to get approval! I just had to sign!

Do you have a lawyer friend who recently filled out the forms and could send you answers to crib?

Also, ask your OB. Tell them these very real symptoms— intense brain fog, fatigue, back pain. These are real medical issues.

When I was a device driver developer with 2 years relevant experience I had got calls from Nvidia and Qualcomm. Unfortunately I wasn't able to crack the interviews back then.

For next 5 years I worked mostly on application development and broadening my exposure. I am not getting even a single call from such companies now.

Is it a good idea to rebrand myself as a device driver developer so that I can get calls again?

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin. I'm a reporter with more than 32 years of experience and I feel that, lately, local television news has been kind of dead, but I am pleased to fight for it from my local newspaper. Locals love to see someone from their own town succeeding or finding out something inspiring.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.
