Empathy? Nah

After 2+ weeks of occasional cramps, and 48 hours of the most disturbing pms ever, my period arrived yesterday just as we'd started dragging heavy furniture around ikea.

I'm dosed up on the strongest painkillers I can find, but still got less than 3 hours sleep last night. Called work to say I won't be in, and got a snooty sigh and "if you really can't make it..."

Oh, okay, maybe you're right, maybe I could come in, just as long as you don't mind me wearing huge pj's and a blanket around my shoulders. If the rest of the office is happy with me rocking backwards and forwards on the floor, and vomitting with stunning regularity. You cleared it with the 50 other female staff that we have to share a bathroom with, right? If nobody has any objection to me being locked up in there for hours at a time, I'll be right in.

I hate when jobs treat you like that. Bleah.

Don't let it get you down. I hope you stood your ground when they were snooty.

Like yr icon btw, we have a drinks coaster with that on it.
