You didn't break the board- we just seem to have these long lapses in conversation.
how is everyone?

OK, I gave a faulty summary of ours -- this is what comes from being a male partner, and just doing whatever I feel like. I don't even realize what the policies are.
We have 2 weeks available for anyone with a new kid, and an additional four for the primary caregiver, so with vacation it adds up to 10 weeks of leave. Not the 12 weeks paid advertized by yertle for Boston Biglaw, so there's some variation among Boston Biglaws. We're a Boston/National firm, with Boston as the biggest office but most of our people outside Mass.
Ours does not seem to be under short term disability -- curious if there's something being missed here!
