Why?

Why is it that when you need to make a good impression with an important person that you end up making a fool of yourself and/or completely do the opposite of making a good impression? Today would have been a good day to make a good impression with an important person but instead I showed up to work looking pretty much how I feel. Speaking of how I feel, I feel pretty miserable. I think because I am feeling so miserable all of my amazing natural wit and charm left me. Neil gave me a cold over the weekend. He went back to work and school on Tuesday feeling better and I got to begin the work week feeling sick. Why does that always happen? Not that I enjoy being sick over weekends especially holiday weekends but I think it is worse to be sick at work. Speaking of being sick, why do I have a hard time taking sick leave? I almost have 2 weeks worth of sick leave but I’m saving it for when I get really sick. Is that weird? Speaking of sick leave, what qualifies as really sick? I don’t know what I’m waiting for.

Hmmmm, if you're looking for what 'really sick' is then I would maybe suggest a high fever, the flu, or intestinal problems. :)

But maybe you should try to take some sick leave now and then when you're sick because there are only so many months left in the year and why waste the sick days you're given? :)

I SO know what you mean...about everything! I say that a cold should constitute a sick day or two...but I can never bring myself to do it. Why is that?!

I always feel guilty taking it...like they aren't going to believe I'm sick. That and the idea of work piling up in my in box is not a nice thought. But go for it, babe! Bern can get by a day or two...can't he?
