Unintentionally making a point

The point is....hire a fucking receptionist I've been sick since Wednesday night. Went to work Thursday & just felt generally crappy. Loaded up on generic DayQuil Friday & spent the day feeling stoned & disoriented (and to think some people purposely want to feel that way). On Friday, I warned the CEO & HR Manager that if I continued to feel like crap, I was only going to work 1/2 days during the following week....coming in just to get payroll finished. Monday, woke up at my usual 5:30am....felt nauseous & was running a slight fever. Emailed the HR Manager & told her, per our conversations Friday, since I still felt bad, I was coming in at 1:00pm to get payroll started. I'm not sure who covered the front desk from 8:00am-1:00pm (2 people at least), but the HR Manager was quite relieved when I came in. Spent the afternoon running the HR Manager through the 1st part of her payroll training. Today....same thing....still felt like crap, but I had to be there during the morning, because payroll had to be transmitted to ADP before 2:00pm. So....spent the morning running the HR Manager through the 2nd part of her payroll training. Around 11:45am, I asked if they desperately needed me to stay. They said if I was feeling bad to go home when my lunch relief showed up. She finally got there at 12:15pm. It took the HR Manager asking 3 people to find coverage for my desk for the rest of the afternoon....4 people to finish out the day, including the HR Manager & possibly the former VP of HR (my EX-boss lady). Tomorrow....definitely have to be there in the morning to finish the payroll process...which usually takes me a minimum of 4 hours (without interruptions HA HA HA)....I'll probably just finish out the day....unless my level of generally feeling crappy degrades itself to REALLY feeling crappy. On a selfish note....hopefully I'm magically over whatever it is I have by tomorrow, because I really want to go with Vicki to Sedusa's Sanctuary, Friday night. On a weird note....why is it when a woman of child-bearing age is sick...someone always has to ask if they are pregnant. I am notoriously anti-child....and my Former Boss-Lady knows this....yet the 1st thing she asks after hearing I've been sick for most of a week is "Are you sure you're not pregnant?"

From yesterday's Best Year Yet Meeting

We had to draw 'by intuition' from a deck of cards....all had different platitudes on them. I could do without the religious undertones on mine, but the sentiment is good. Respect Yourself Make an internal commitment to respect yourself and feel worthy of all that the Universe has to offer. If you disrespect anyone or anything that God creates, you disrespect that creative force and tarnish your connection to the power of intention.
