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.

Help me, b.org hivemind and talk me out of my anxiety. I let my boss know that I've had a migraine for six days straight and may drop off work after our 1:1. She said she was sorry to hear that, that my health was my top priority, and sent me the information links for leaves and accommodations and the contact info for the Leaves team.

The Brain Raccoons, of course, are aaaaaaaallllllll over this. What if asking for accommodations and/or changes in scheduled work hours is going to be used against me? OMG I can't lose this job; I'm 57 and technical writing/editing jobs are getting scarcer and scarcer. OMG I CAN'T LOSE THIS JOB BECAUSE OF FUCKING INSURANCE. Plus, of course, this is a brand new role for me (program manager) and I am beating myself up because I'm not immediately perfect at it and all-knowing. Soooooo fun.
