Okay. Called off, tonight.

Last time I called off was Robert Smith's birthday, on April 21st - and I genuinely feel like crap; so be it. Ironic, because I just joked to [livejournal.com profile] gayalithiel about calling off, this morning - just for fun - but said I was going to do it, tomorrow, because I was just off. I literally woke up coughing, and with my head pounding and full of snot, and that's just the way it goes, I guess; I'm absolutely sure it's from sleeping with a fan on me, full-blast, like I do - although I'm sure my mother will say it's because, "I eat weird." We've worked one on a wing, no float, for the past solid - what? Couple weeks or so, and it was bound to catch up. I feel like I'm full of lead - no pun, intended..it's surreal. The charge nurse assured me that, 'Oh, they'll be okay.", but, I know that's not the truth. This is a true kobayashi maru, but pardon my utter lack of enthusiasm.

So, yeah; boo-hoo, pity me. Pity my coworkers.

I do! My only worry is that someone will think that I called off JUST to see DEVO on Colbert...

O come on, do you really think your collegues have such a low opinion of you? I bet you've got a recorder :)

Aww, I do pity you - it's rubbish being sick. I hope you feel better soon, soon, soon.

I do! I really do! My body kidnapped me into sleeping - and I've started taking DHEA, to fend off some of the stress.

You have to put yourself above your co-workers.

As BSL™ in his wisdom says, "I would have to be very egotistical to think that I am the only person that can do this job. I need to step back and let someone else step up."

It's hard to do, but sometimes, you just gotta. For everyone's best. . .


Feel better

Well, trust me - my worry is not born of egotism; I just know how horrible it can be when someone calls off - Gloria and Robin and Chanelle just had THEIR turns..it kinda goes in cycles, and we each get to this burn-out point and then there's this patch of call-offs...which cycles into MORE burn-out...and so on and so on...

Yeah, I'm going in, tonight.
