I texted in sick today. I sent a text to my boss.

Hi,

I am missing the first day back to work. I had planned to at least sign in so I could be counted as present.

This is going to sound really weird but I mostly am not going to go in because I do not want to take a shower. It is too hard.
Also I slept 2.5 hours.

Oh, first day is ALWAYS the worst...

The second one, even when it is indeed the first one works better for me all the time.... I have something with mondays

Sleep and rest as much as you can Mari. Tomorrow will be easier and better

It is great that you have a boss that you can do that with.

Hi,

Monday was full of stupid meetings from 9:00 am to 4:15 pm with only a lunch break. I am glad I missed that. Work Buddy spoke to me for an hour on the phone about what I missed. I had to calm him down a little because the day was crummy.

Tuesday we have only two meetings. They will be somewhat productive.

Dear Mari

i hope you got more sleep and that today goes smoothly for you.

p.s. to me, the use of texting to advising of being late/absent etc is perhaps the coolest thing since the wheel. close anyway.

Hi,
Tuesday was sooooooooo hard on three hours of sleep.

Other people were stressed besides me. Long meetings these past two days could be characterized as
wastes of time,
lies,
threats,
meanderings,
arguments,
complete b.s,
mumbled nonsense,
vague instructions, . . .

I tried to mostly stay disengaged and left when it was too hard for my VERY AGITATED self to sit still.

I survived but now I need a day to recover and sleep.

Dear Mari,

I hear you.

Kudos for putting up with it as long as you did yesterday, and for knowing when it was time to fold up.

You are in touch with your needs. This is good.

I wish for you success in getting some good and restful sleep today/tonight. I am sure that being away from that stupid and annoying environment of semi-formal mental m----- for a day will help also.

It never ceases to amaze me what some organizations or managers within them seem to believe are useful techniques to achieve good team communication, coordination and performance. Not to mention MOTIVATION! LOL.
