Did you really call in lazy today?? Because if that is the new thing to do.. I need to follow suit!!! Sleep.. my body can't seem to get enough and my mind can't keep concentrating due to being soo tired!!! If all the cool kids are doing it.. I might as well to.. I will be calling in lazy soon!!

Feeling better Mrs. Lunas?

Hehe we'll I don't like to lie when calling in. I just said I wasn't feeling too good today. I've been stressed out about normal things in life and as a result I stayed up last night until 4 am. I am feeling better as I was able to get some rest. Sleep and rest makes things better and helps me stay focused. Try it sometime ;) if you can.

Everyone needs a mental health day from time to time. *hugs*

Hey, since I'm a "Sir" maybe I should get a lance and a horse and joust people against their will. Joust Molestation?

I totally agree with you. I had to take one of those days a few weeks ago. I hope you're feeling better!

It's like they throw drive safely in there as an afterthought.

"YOU BETTER BE HERE TOMORROW OR ELSE! Btw, be safe."

Another reason I miss my job. I actually care about the (good) employees. Having a manager genuinely care transforms that employee (usually) into someone amazing!

Yes, exactly. It's an afterthought but they have to throw it in there. "If you don't drive safely into work tomorrow, you'll get hurt and WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GET SOMEONE TO UNDERPAY THAT QUICKLY!!!"

Its a good thing to keep reminding yourself... The immigration journey or nightmare for some is one day closer to being over!

A white horse and your own collection of swords. And i think you should declare a "me" day for all of us. Or can we have one "immigration" day a month for those of us stressed out by the waiting process!

You're lucky, last time heavy snow was predicted we got a reminder that management does not consider a driving ban to be a valid reason for not coming to work.
