Still feel like hell but starving. Tried to figure out what I could eat without getting death-like again.

Staggered over to store and found rice crackers and chicken broth. At the moment these are the two most wonderful foods in the world.

Staggered back home fretting -- if I stll feel this bad in the morning how the hell am I going to go into work?

My Boss, who was out the bulk of December when she threw her back out (though she came in one day a week... wtf? if you can't get up you can't get up, right?) has announced that she will be out most of January as well (seems its her anniversary. and her kids' birthdays. and if I'd just taken off the bulk of a month it would seem reasonable to readjust this plan but hey, I'm not the boss). She was in today. She'll be in tomorrow. We don't think she will be next week, etc. She's going to be mad as hell that one of the few days she's in the office I'm out sick nevermind TWO of them. Heck, last month I missed one of her days in the office by going to a funeral...

So now I'm fretting -- what if I can't get to work?

I get home and remote access my work email. At 3:47 she had forwarded me a document saying "Please print this immediately". Um...

She's nutso. That's just all there is to it. I need a new boss.

Oh yeah I've seen those. Better than the Harry Potter Vibrating Broom!

still not sleeping... just festering & hacking. DH has run to the CVS, but wanted to know if I'd posted that he offered to tie me up today (ie my lovely hospital gown). now we can tell him yes.

Laga & Bobbi - hilarious.

Has anyone seen the milk comments on amazon?

thanks everyone for the well wishes.

eta: Hil - so glad you got another opinion.

Poor Trudy. You shouldn't have to worry about your job when you are ill. Especially when said worry is that you are inconveniently sick on on of the few days bosslady deigns to come to work.

ESPECIALLY when she doesn't even notice that I'm gone!

She really is a trip.

Tomorrow I'll likely be somewhat but not all the way better. Its going to be a tough call.

{{{Trudy}}} Feel better. Your boss should be happy that you didn't go in and possibly expose her to a stomach flu.

Poor Trudy.

Is there anyone who can take a look at my resume? I Want to email it to my temp agency tomorrow after work.

I'm really fed up with my job right now and I've turned into a horrible employee. Part of the problem is when my direct supervisor left there were no contingency plans or anything, she left no information for whoever replaced her (or me) because "there wasn't anything likethat for me." My Big Boss never sat down with us either together or separately to talk about how the job duties would be divided up until there was a replacement. She left the end of August and I know no one thought the position would be vacant this long, but it's frustrating.

I just...I have no one to ask questions, unlessI go outside my division, and my boss is weird about talking about outside stuff. She keeps odd hours which was fine before but isn't working out now.

Today I just felt overwhelmed and wanted to walk out. In the first few monhts I worked here I wanted to walk out and never come back several times but I didn't and now I realize I have to leave. I'm just sucking as an employee because I don't have the direction I need. Not micromanging but it would be nice to have someone to touch base with who knows what's going on and give my projects and deadlines.

I'll look at yours, if you'll return the favor, askye.
