Planning a day off
I was looking at my schedule for the rest of the week, and, I thought I’d have to go to work late on Friday.
Somewhere along the line, I agreed that my daughter could have the whole basketball team to spend the night tomorrow night.
However, reality slapped me in time, and, I realized that after having 11 teenagers to spend the night, I won’t exactly be in a work mode, so, I’ll schedule a preemptive day off.
I is so smart sometimes.
It’s just inviting a kid to get sick, though, isn’t it?

You need to wage a day off “ambush” just to guarantee no stomach virus or bout of strep. Add in a pending holiday and you might as just schedule the doctor’s appointment right now.

There are mental health issues to be raised for even agreeing to having 11 teenagers for a sleepover…but scheduling metal health days off probably wouldn’t go over well with HR, huh?!
