So Very Clever...
So, last night, I threw one of my caps (fake teeth). It was positioned such that I was not willing to go to work without a reglue.
So, I called the dentist this morning and realized he does not work most Wednesdays. I called the emergency number, but pretty much resigned myself to waiting for the 7:30am appointment I had tomorrow anyway. I emailed work to say I was going to be out sick.
Turns out my dentist was going to be in town for errands of his own and had me come in. All is stable again. So, I got lunch and made it in at noon.
Then I had to go to all the folks I emailed to tell them it was just a fake-out. My boss had already logged me a sick day (we do not have fractional sick days), so we are going to count my surgery next Tuesday against it. Which means I don't need to use up a personal day for my surgery.
I'm not sure whether to file this under "You could have taken the rest of the day off, you fool" or "Alls well that ends well."
