she had gone to Vegas for a week and didn't tell anyone in the office
She did what now? ZOMG. Reminds me of a contractor my parents hired who once left the COUNTRY without telling them. Never mind that this was the second time they'd hired him, and the first time a one-month project turned into a nine-month project.

I used to work at the Memorial Union kitchen at UW-Madison. While there, I heard the Legend of the Guy Who Didn't Show Up For Work For a Week.
So, this guy doesn't show up for work for a week. Then when he does show up, he assumes he's been fired. But he wasn't, as no one noticed that he wasn't there.
Now that was a great place to work if you were a slacker college student. Especially if you had access to the bake shop liquor cabinet....
Owie. Stoopid borderline hypermobility.
Do you ever try wrist splints? I try not to type without them. They make a noticeable difference.

And the guy was getting paid? I have never heard of anywhere where that would be even remotely possible.
Friend coming over for pizza. I love friends!

Like Murray in Flight of the Conchords!
(Or George in that episode of Seinfeld.)

No, he wasn't clocking in while he was gone. But he realized that he could have been paid if only he had arranged for someone else to clock in and out for him.
Actually, I had a job like that in college doing filing at Evanston Hospital, but it was explicitly in the job description that the hours were "show up when you have time to file and we'll give you stuff to do." So disappearing during finals weeks and spring break was expected.
I love pizza!
Me too! Let's be friends.
