My boss' boss has been out on an extended leave of absence dealing with family and health issues. I thought that perhaps he or his partner had cancer or something. Today he joined a meeting via the phone and announced that he'd been in an inpatient facility for alcoholism and that he's returning in 2 weeks. I am glad he's coming back and got the help he needed. But call me shocked.
Wow, I'm glad he got help, but am really impressed and proud of him for admitting that to his employees. I know you shouldn't be ashamed, and are encouraged to share, but work relations can be tricky when dealing with stuff like that.

Good luck to him in his sobriety.
I was really surprised he shared that with us. I am so glad he's gotten the help he needs and hope he continues to do well in his recovery.

I'm new to working in a cubicle. Today I'm eating my salad and I swear the person next to me can hear every single chomp. I scarf it down every time he leaves the room.

I had met a guy through bow hunting. We talked occasional, always about bow hunting. Had hung out once. I needed to wax my bow and he offered to come over and show me how. Not exactly sure how it happened, but we slept together. Best sex of my life. He thought we were then dating. He asked me to buy him a $900 bow to prove to him I was serious about him. He even suggested I put it on a CC. Haha. I told him to go to hell.
In other news I'm considering converting and becoming nun. That's assuming I can find an order that allows drinking.
No way! You got good sex and a hilarious story (or it'll be hilarious in about 6 months) Keep up the good fight.
bunnysmom, hope all works out ok with your H's visit to the doc.
@mrschicken - thanks for the extra cute dose of Miso in this thread!
@blessed - glad you are ok!!!
My random - I have one more night on the road, and finally return home tomorrow -- and don't get on another airplane for a few weeks YAHOO!!!! I have been honing my road warrior skills again this month and I am SO OVER IT.
However...this evening's dinner is at a restaurant where we apparently get to meet the celebrity chef and eat in his kitchen. I clearly do not know enough details because I still don't even know which restaurant or chef - that's how scattered my schedule has been. So...at least my work travel has been fancy? :/
I am so looking forward to cocktails in 30 minutes
@carmensandiego, I see you finally broke down and started playing Candy Crush. (devil)
LOLOL. Thanks for the help today! Believe it or not, it is my 3-year-old's fault--she was playing it on my husband's phone and wanted to give me a "lesson" on it. She taught me to play and now I have it and I totally get absorbed in it sometimes when I should be spending quality time with my kids which is why I knew I shouldn't have downloaded it in the first place.

LOL. I tried to get my dean hooked on CC using the same method as your DD. Sadly, I don't think it worked on him.
