I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Honey, you will be medically unavailable. Fuck, you should have been all weekend. If you got run down by a bus they would just have to FUCKING DEAL. This is like. I know you don't want it to be, but it is. YOU GOT HIT BY A FUCKING BUS. It might have been driven by fucking stupid docs, but that's what it is. Not your fault. If there is no redundancy at work, well, that's your bosses' faults.

I know how much pride you take in your work. I know you're fighting a battle between your health and your pride. But you got hit by a bus called bad drs and migraine. Heal first.

Wow, they are promoting the shit out of Nashville. Ordinarily, I would think that meant that it was awful, but Connie Britton can't be in something awful!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, lord, football, I can't watch.

Connie Britton can't be in something awful!

Tim Goodman was really pushing it on Twitter yesterday. And the production team looks pretty good, too.

Plus, bonus Eric Close! (I've always liked him.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Whew, breathing again.

That sucks extra hard that you have so much work stress on top of the uncooperative doctors and pain, ita. I'm sorry.

But no boss wants to hear that of their employees

That's bullshit, by the way. Anyone who wants a robot for an employee is a terrible boss. And I know that means there are a lot of terrible bosses in the world.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Seriously. I know there's a lot going on at work, and of course bosses want all their employees to be there bright eyed and bushytailed all the time, but that's not reality.

This is beyond your control, ita !, much as that sucks. You are not doing this to foil your boss's plans. Anyway, what sara said.

In completely mundane news, I can't find where we were talking about it now, but the reason I needed a second cup of coffee today? Is because I never had the first cup; I just now found the first cup, completely undrunk. Oops.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's bullshit, by the way.

Really? I'm not criticising my boss here, you know. No one wants people they don't hate sick--there are a bunch of reasons I don't want to tell my boss I need sick time. #1 is "I don't want to be sick" and "#2 is I'd rather be working on the project". I'd at least hope he agrees with #1. #2 might sound cold, but how can you not prefer that to me being ill? Like I said, I sure do.

Of course he would prefer that you're not sick, but he can't be angry with you for it.
