Preemptive strike
I called in sick before the pain really sets in.
George showed up this morning. I woke around 5am with some pain and bleeding.
I’ve been VERY tired and have gone around the entire morning (5:30 - 7:30) with my eyes half closed, staggering about the house trying to wake up. Usually I’m not this tired - I know it’s just george.
I did my usual routine - made my breakfast and lunch for the day, did my hair, got dressed. But I just kept falling back to sleep. Sleep walking, I swear.
But through all this, the pain didn’t really set in. I kept thinking, “Wait For It….” but the pain never ramped up. This is good!!!
However, I was eating my breakfast when the clock turned 7am. I’m supposed to leave BY 7am at the latest. Otherwise, I’m late to work. I already have two strikes against me for tardiness. Strike three puts me in the red and they make a decision on whether or not to fire me.
Then again, this week is chopping block week, anywa….OH! I didn’t tell you!!!
On Friday during the one-on-one meeting with my boss, she let slip that re-organisation is in the air. She tried to be vague but I said, “come on, I sit right outside the Director’s office, and he and the other head cheeses have been having pow-wows in there all week. I already know a re-org is coming.” My boss sighed, then perked up and said, “did you hear anything?”
I laughed and said no. She slumped and said “darn”.
Too funny!
She *thinks* our team won’t be affected and she is *pretty sure* I won’t personally be affected by the coming changes. Then she went over my weekly stats - I was number six out of twenty-five reps last week - in the top ten, taking most of the calls and answering more emails than many others…again.
BWAHAHAHAHA! I’M NUMBER SIX!!! BE SEEING YOU!
*ahem*
Couldn’t resist.
I’m feeling somewhat guilty for calling in when I’m not in dying pain, but at the same time, I have a gut feeling that the worst is to arrive just around the next couple of hours, and I do NOT want to be at work when this happens.
Plus, I just don’t want to be at work. :p
8:44am Edit: Well here we are. The pain has set in, as well as the freezing chills to add to the misery. Time for heating pad and drugs.
