Current mood:

sick

Could anything else please go wrong?
Ok, so I'm sick. Sick enough to go to the ER on Monday. Of course the only reason I went there was because all the Minor Medicals were closed for Labor Day, but if you understand that my fear of hospitals is only eclipsed by my fear of planes, then you know that I was pretty bad off.

So anyway, I'm still sick and even though I'm getting better I am still stuffy and snotty and coughing and so, so tired. But enough of that, I had to get up at 5:30 this morning for my 7:00 weekly meeting. Made it through that and get to work to find out that my paralegal called in sick. Now I can't really fault her because she *never* calls in sick. But the timing really sucks. Did I also mention that both Phill and Jill are out of town this week so we were already 2 people short?

So now we are 3 people short, and in my condition I'm not very helpful. Unfortunately the 2 healthy people we have here only handle post-closing matters so that means they have no clue how to fill in for our 3 missing persons. Then I spilled yogurt on my tie.

The one redeeming thing today is that our new hire, Pat, has experience in the field so she is doing a pretty good job of filling in. And it's only her second day. I think that if she wasn't here I would be hosed. Just close the doors, hang up a sign, let's go home.
