What shrift said, seriously.

So I'm not at work today, because my father is back in the hospital after another seizure. Oy. So I was there with my mom for a couple of hours, and now she has a meeting so I am home. He's way better than he was after the last time, which is good, I think.

oh Jesse, hugs to you all.

That's hard, Jesse. Do the doctors know what's causing the seizures?

Hugs, Jesse.

msbelle- that would be illegal in NY, not sure about Texas.

Do the doctors know what's causing the seizures?

Nope. They thought the first one was just a fluke, so I don't know if now he'll go on anti-seizure meds or what.

oh yeah, it is totally illegal. I wish we ran on comptime, but we don;t, so to ask me to misrepresent my time sheet and then take time at another time while still saying I am working? totally shady and illegal. If I thought it would get him fired, I'd send that email to HR, but it would not, they would say to him "Your employee, R, has brought this to our attention - now stop it." and then I would be in a pile of shit.

and now, with no response, he has approved my half day off.

Aw Jesse, I hope they figure things out.

I had two beer after work last night. Then I ate a huge serving of pad thai, and was up for hours cleaning afterwards. And still, I am hung over today. I am pathetic.

On the plus side, my BFF is coming for an overnight visit and to do Xmas shopping. Without kids. So excited.

For once in my life, googling something medical helped -- at least I learned that there are anti-seizure drugs they give Alz patients for other reasons.

And I have a fancy sandwich for lunch. And again, not at work! Things could be worse.

HMOG, I completed 58 pieces of art yesterday (admittedly, a 15 1/2 hour day) and with this morning's work have now caught up to the editors assigning me art specs. I just hope they're not holding on to a bunch of surprise extra ones that they'll send me this afternoon and expect turned around by 5.
