Today is my Friday too, somehow even with being a short week this has been a long one so I'm glad it's almost over! I have a million things to do today though and of course, had a terrible night sleeping so I'm exhausted.
HoneySpider , That sucks you didn't sleep good. I also want to add that it gives me great pleasure watching your ticker I'm so damn excited for you and your DH
I have basically been up since 3:30a. Today is go I going to be a long day. We are leaving around 7 and house hunting 9:30-12 and then 2:30-5ish. Back to my dad's after each stretch for C to sleep. We were just at my dad's for Memorial weekend and his sleep was the suck...so hoping it is better this time but prepared for a long 4 days of a cranky toddler. It will all be worth it if we can make an offer and get into escrow in new city!
luv2rn4fun Sorry about the late night Good luck today!
Warning VENT ahead: I got in trouble yesterday at work and it SUCKS. I'm not a person who gets in trouble at work so I bawled like a baby last night So I was told weeks ago that I could NOT go negative on PTO. After returning from FMLA, I had zero hours. We had a few instances where the daycare was closed that I had to take off and my hours went to zero. When I got diagnosed with both strep and the flu, I HAD to take off because I was contagious and my hours went negative again.
Well, when I went to the ER the Saturday before Memorial Day, they gave me a work note releasing me to come back to work on June 1st. They told me it was for me to rest...not that I would be contagious. Then they told me to call my husband to come get me because they were giving me something to sedate me. (I was hysterical and having a panic attack due to coughing up blood). They also had me take something to help me rest the next few days. I basically slept the next few days and woke up on Tuesday and went back to work like i was on autopilot. YESTERDAY (a week and a half after going to the ER) my boss asks for a doctor's release note. Puzzled as to why I'm being asked for a note concerning a sickness that took place over the weekend/holiday, I asked her about it. She gave me some HR reason and I handed her over the note from the massive pile of discharge paperwork I hadn't even LOOKED AT since May because I basically slept for 2 days after the ER.
Apparently, because the doctor's note said I wasn't released until the 1st...and therefor I put the company in jeopardy by coming back that Tuesday (long HR reason for this.) It was purely an oversight on my part (I was knocked out for 2 days and didn't look at ANY of the paperwork!) but I got YELLED at yesterday and told I was a liar....my boss accused me of coming back to work early because I didn't want to risk going negative again on PTO. That was NOT the case at all....I was knocked out. It really sucks. I told her what happened and she's still treating me like a lepper. UGH.
MrsMB hugs! It was a honest mistake. She had no right to call you a liar and yell at you. That is something I would report to a superior.
I'm on my third coffee. It's one of those days already. I have a new employee today so I'm pretty much stepping back and letting him do all the work today.
*hugs* MrsMB that sounds so miserable. Even IF you had been irresponsible about coming back too early, no one else got sick so the past is the past. After hearing your explanation she should not have continued to treat you like a child. I'm sorry
MrsMB- ((Hugs)) friend sorry your boss is being her standard horrible self. I agree with @emtmissy...she had no right to treat you like that and I would report it. How are you feeling BTW?
MrsMB Your boss sounds terrible. I'm so sorry you were yelled at. That is completely ridiculous! I can't imagine how hard is it to be in trouble for missing work and then for coming into work So many hugs lady.
luv2rn4fun Eeeeee I'm so excited you guys are house hunting! GL!!! Can't wait to hear how it went!
MrsMB- ((Hugs)) friend sorry your boss is being her standard horrible self. I agree with @emtmissy...she had no right to treat you like that and I would report it. How are you feeling BTW?
Unfortunately, my boss is the head of HR :/
Feeling better....but still coughing badly...like my ribs hurt something awful. Getting there though. I think there is truly something in the water. Everyone is sick with something severe at our main office.

So many ((hugs))...hope you are back to 100% soon!
I'm feeling tons better today than I was yesterday thankfully. Trying to decide if I should pick E up from DC (I'm only taking my pain pills at night so I can drive) or stay late. I'm worried about picking E up to get into the car. I should be fine for just a minute but I get paranoid I'm going to make things worse so I've been avoiding picking him up. He's just over 21 pounds so not heavy but enough to probably hurt, lol. Decisions...
I DO NOT want to go to H's strongman nationals. It is Sat in Louisville. It will be 98*+ and it is outside, there will be sooo many people there, traffic will be horrible and I will have little sleep because of travel. I normally enjoy competitions but this one will have so many competitors and people it won't even be fun to watch. wanderingenough, can I come hang out with you? I can bring wine.
Thanks all! Sorry to hijack the Thursday thread. I'm such a perfectionist and I really do try to be a good person...that it just REALLY messed with my head
MrsMB - I understand your boss's concerns regarding liability, but the way she spoke to you and handled the situation was so far from appropriate. She should not have lashed out at you.

Exactly. Thank you. I understood that too. But yeah...it was a freak situation and she was super unprofessional.
