Morning!

I haven't determined whether it's good or bad just yet.

Edit: I meant the morning. Smoking is bad, but I love you all anyway.

Not so bright on our parts considering the office is usually the first place they look.

actually i could probably make it to retirement without anyone looking for me. last year it took my boss a day and a half before he realized that i took two days off.

I tower over the cubicle walls. Unless I crawl to the john, I'm screwed.

'Morning, everyone. Even the cows. Speaking of which, I could use some milk in my coffee.

I got sent home yesterday to rest up and ended up taking a two hour nap. I feel great today! I think I'll milk this "I need rest" thing more often.

I lost my connection and for a few minutes, I thought it was going to be a very long day.

Hi Girls!

I cannot imagine getting sent home to "rest up". Did you have a breakdown? I'm not sure that would even get me sent home!

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 5/17/06 at 9:06am

I got called in for a 6:00am meeting and everyone commented on how bad I looked. I've been putting in a lot of 12 hour days - including Saturdays - so I think it was taking it's toll. I must admit, I was really dragging. After the meeting the principal said I should take the day off and sleep, but I came back at 2:00pm for an event I was chairing. Ended up staying until 8:00pm last night, but I could have never done that without my nap!

So there you go, look really, really bad and people will either feel sorry for you OR they won't want to look at you any more. Either way, you could get a ticket home.

Eh...when I look bad my boss will say.."you look bad..you should get more sleep at night"..and they hands me another project to do.

My boss is always trying to send me home. I'll work through just about anything until I'm about ready to drop. Even a bout of pancreatitis and gall bladder trouble didn't keep me from going in for a few hours before I went home and collapsed--(and was in the ER the next day and then the hospital for a week.)

And, I've always got gobs of vacation time, too that I have to use or lose.

But, when I do leave early sick or take vacation he does look stressed...

And, BlueMoon--you are obviously a critical part of your team. They must value you highly and want to take care of you. That is great!

Hmmm, Moony, you left out a lot of those details when you told me the story yesterday. Wonder why?

*polishes co-dependent badge*

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 5/17/06 at 9:24am

Ummm....which details? Fatigue has taken its toll on my short term memory.

Beacon - I totally get what you're saying. I lose more vacation days than I take and I haven't been out sick in three years.

And the gallbladder, pancreas thing? Did that in 2000. Collapsed at my desk one day and they carted me off in an ambulance. My boss came with me. Two hours later they were wheeling me into the OR and I was dictating lesson plans and assignments all the way down the hall. When I got into the recovery room I asked for a phone so I could leave voicemails for my office mates so they could cover for me.

*sigh* Reading through this, it's obvious I need help.

Or a raise.

Moonie..it's the Cancerian in us doll...don't you know that by now?

You just told me you had to go in for a 6:00 meeting and then they let you go home to rest until 2:00.

Anyway, who is that in you av? What happened to Julie?

[Bluemoon]

Posted: 5/17/06 at 9:28am

Must be, boobs. Thank God I'm in good company!
