Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm sorry, Steph. That seems like a natural thing to happen right now? I know it doesn't make it any easier.
I have so much work to get done and my head hurts so much and I need to go over to the hospital and I can't calm down. I need to get this stuff done.
I need to get this stuff done.
No. You don't. You need to take care of yourself and your husband. If they need that article, they can ask for it back and send it to someone else. You and Tim come first.
This is not like "Oh, he tripped and messed up his ankle, I've got to help him hobble around the house." This is a major organ deciding to spontaneously go on strike and have doctors make "Oh, how interesting" noises (never good). Despite evidence to contrary, most managers are human beings and understand that family health crises can mess up work schedules.
You do not need to get that stuff done right now.
You definitely do not need to get anything done other than taking care of yourself #1 and Tim #2. (Tim has lots of other people taking care of him, also put your own oxygen mask on first.)
Steph:
Oh, yeah. They were super understanding -- didn't even ask about when I thought I'd have my articles back; just told me they were praying for Tim and asking me to keep them updated.
You do not need to worry about this stuff today. I hope you will let them know that you are out of commission for a day or two and take care of yourself and Tim.
Forget about work today. Take a nap if you can and then go see Tim.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. Take care of Tim. Work will understand.
