life is life, work is work, play is play

simple facts we should all remember. and the ceo reminded me today that understanding and caring are not part of the organization i work for as instead of inquiring how i felt after i had called in two days in a row (which amounts to two days more of sick time use than i had in the past year or two, even), i was sort of reprimanded. we concluded our conversation with me thanking him for giving me permission to call him on his cell phone at any time if i had a real emergency because he needs me to stay in touch. i recognized he was upset more due to his insecurity and helpless feeling (as, for one thing, nobody knows how to do what i do in the place because nobody cross-trains and nobody has the skills even if there was good management that included cross-training), so i gave him what he wanted to hear and hopefully all is well.

softball was fun tonight.
