Oh I have a reason



I went to work today and came back home again. Apparently, someone at work was "uncomfortable". I worked yesterday with my leg elevated, as I'm supposed to, on my desk and then a chair. I have psoriasis and cellulitis, neither of which are contagious but apparently someone spoke to my supervisor that they were "uncomfortable". I was told to elevate my leg under my desk on a box. I felt ... I don't know... like they were treating me as if I had leprosy. I was shocked and hurt. A cold is more contagious than I am. So I left for the day. I had a doctor's appointment around noon to check my creatinine level with the antibiotic I'm on and things are okay. The doctor gave me a note saying I wasn't contagious and I had to elevate my leg for the next three days and it was okay to absent to do so. People's ignorance ... and let's say workplace malice especially with women ... is amazing.


And I've gotten a cold on top of it all. Bah. I ran an errand after the doctor's appointment -- picking up the rest of my prescription and some groceries at Walmart. I tried to nap but I kept sneezing.


I'm just taking it easy, I guess. I'll read and maybe go to bed early. I'm just tired. Nothing on TV.


Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster

Nothing worse than office politics or all-female cubicles when they all get snarky, and they've all been there longer than you. If it gets too uncomfortable, get outta there. Life's too short to put up with it, and it's their loss anyway. Hang in. I'm pulling for ya!
