Called into Work and Phoning In the Post
Last night, I slipped on a puddle of leakage from our air conditioning unit. You can't turn the dang thing off for more than a few hours without it releasing a gallon or more of water. I was hurting this morning, so I called in.
It was one of those call ins that, yes, I could have toughed it out, but with a flex day and comp time to use in a job where my work does not go undone when I'm not there. Calling out once in a while is good for the soul. When it feels like all the moving companies New York has to over have stomped on my knees and hips seems like an appropriate time.
I slept, took some painkillers and feel much better. I've been Tweeting, Facebooking and cleaning out my Google Reader.
Since my brain is devoid of unique content tonight, I swiped a meme from Kwizgiver:
