Today is one of those days where you just want to quit. Work sucks. Sick kid. People are idiots. Everyone wants something.
I am at work, and I don't have a door. I am in the middle of the office, so I don't have the option to just shut the door and keep to myself. I have been at work for 1 hr and 15 min. The same person has called 3 times. The phone has rang 2x more (so we are up to 5 calls in 75 min.). Two people have come to the main door.
I did get part of my room cleaned yesterday, but sick Bossy was very needy. It was a long day. And today isn't looking much better. G-man is home with him. I came into work and was confronted with an email that apparently Boss was annoyed I had a sick kid.
Not a good day.
Ah Mysti, not a fair day at all. I hope Bossy feels better soon and your boss gets sick! Oops, did I say that out loud?
ReplyDeleteSending you a cyber hug full of empathy.
Sorry you are having such a bad day. That was the thing I detested while working when my son was little - always being made to feel guilty when I had to stay home with a sick child. Hope all is better soon!
ReplyDeleteMysti, I remember a job I had right out of college and I was not allowed to miss work. I came in sick. I brought my little girl to the office sick. The whole atmosphere was sick. I am glad I got out, but your boss will calm down I am sure he was just frustrated like you are frustrated now. Keep your chin up it will get better.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping for a better day today! Hugs and Good Luck!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteso sorry - that totally sucks.... sometimes people are heartless.. :(
ReplyDeleteMy husband's boss has the rule of you can't call in sick unless "you have a bone sticking out"...unless HE is the one that is sick. Ugh! I also work at a place where if I am sick, I almost have a freakin' panic attack because I get total 'tude when I do call in (which I have missed 2 days since August - 1 was a planned apptmt to be my niece's driver when she had a procedure done and the other I was sick). Ugh!!
