Day 249 - ARGH! Self Centered Much?
Sep. 6th, 2010 04:14 pmToday is Labour Day, a stat holiday for people who are gainfully employed. Since I'm set up as a subcontract worker, I don't usually get to enjoy these built in days off because if I don't work, I don't get paid. But in the last year or so, I've decided I don't give a damn and I've either been working them and then taking a day off at some other time or not working them at all.
Today I went in as I wanted to finish tidying up a client's year end in preparation for going over it with the client. Since I'm coming off a crappy weekend where my cold decided to take over my lungs as well as my sinuses, I decided I'd work four hours and then come home again. When I got to work, my boss asked me how I was and I told her and I quote, "I'm sick. I'm not staying all day." I then spent the next five hours hacking my lungs up and blowing my nose every five minutes.
When I got up to go at 3:30pm, an hour later than I had intended because I was waiting on her, she said, Oh! Are you going home already???? Are you not feeling well???" It was on the tip of my tongue to snap, I feel just great! That's why I've been coughing and sneezing all day! However, what I actually said was, no. I'll see you tomorrow and I left.
It was either that or strangle her with the mouse cord.
>_<
