Bad Day
So I had a bad day at work. It didn't start out so much. My boss popped his head in my office today and said "signed off on your mid-year review. You will see that everything was good but your attendance. You missed 11 days this year. 7 of those were at the hospital with your mom. I have to mention it and tell you that you need to work on your attendance".
What??? 1 of the remaining 4 was because I was in the hospital this Wednesday. So 3 others were due to being ill. My Mom has only been dead for 2 weeks and you have the gall to bring this up in my mid year review. I will not regret missing days to be with my Mom! If it took me 60 days to be with her I would take it. No job is more important than her.
The other lady at my work called me and asked if I got my Mid-year results. I told her what was said to me and she said He said the same thing to her after her mother died and she had a feeling it would be in mine. Of course I was crying. She was so sweet. She told me not to take it personal and that his attendance is worse than mine and hers combined.
I just wish he would have had more tact when bringing it up to me. I am having a hard time. It hasn't even been 2 weeks since her service and it has only been 1 weeks since she has been cremated.
I know it is morbid that I have what seems as an anniversary date when it comes to my mothers death. I can't get over it. I try to act stronger than what I am but I am falling apart.
