Tweaking Benefits and Coping With Your Job While Ill

First the Washington Post has an article about Washington-area firms tweaking benefits plans with works absorbing more health costs but gaining perks.

Next, the New York Times has some advice on protecting your job while coping with a chronic illness

Lastly, the atlanta illustrated has the top 5 things to say when caught sleeping at your desk at work (how many HR professionals have heard these excuses?)

5. "They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen."

4. "This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time management course you sent me to."

3. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here just in time."

2. "Did you ever notice sound coming out of these keyboards when you put your ear down real close?" And the NUMBER ONE best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your desk...

1. Raise your head slowly and say, "...in Jesus' name, Amen."

Hilarious!
