A new toy that I ordered before I lost my job. :wink:
( Think I should send it back or keep it?)
Then my sis from Iowa sent me a care package. (Good timing mailing out that package sis!)
So now this evening I will set down and read over my instructions for my new toy and eat my Sterzings chips and dip... I will worry about being depressed tomorrow. lol..

I would contact the labor board in my state.

And no, do not send it back! Keep it & have some fun!
thanks to all of you for your generous support on my issue.. Let me clear something up.
I was not fired by my boss. I was "seperated" (Fired) by my human resource dept. Every state has its different laws and unfortunatley Va's laws suck when it come to protecting a worker.

My husband was an HR Manager, and as long as there was no medical release by a treating physician the employee can't be fired (separated). There would have to be attempts by your employer (or in this case - the HR departmentand your department supervisor) to find some other job you could do if OK by your MD until you were released to resume your regular job.[/quote]
I asked about a different job and she told me there was nothing I could do. I am going to contact my laywer monday and talk to her just to make sure there is nothing that can be done. I am sure they could not have fired me if I was on a workers comp issue but not so sure it is not legal considering it is not a work comp thing.

Good move. I'm sorry you have to resort of legal advice, but that's what they're there for.
Documention, documention....
and in the mean time...
Practice, practice, practice on your new toy...
Lucky you....
