Unexpected bliss
Today was unexpectedly, a pretty good day especially by Monday standards.Sunday night however, found me exhausted with a throbbing headache and dreading work the next day. I seriously considered faking an MC. But the responsible part of me made me feel too guilty to pull it through. On top of that, had another looming dateline. Terrible, considering the last one was only finished two working days ago, delayed as a result of the Ed workshop.
I must have snoozed my alarm clock a dozen times this morning. 6 times each at least on my radio alarm and handphone. I hope my new housemate is not a light sleeper as she sleeps just next door and the walls are obviously not sound proof.
Finally dragged myself out of bed and got ready for work in a semi-daze. The feeling of dread increased each moment as I drove nearer to the office. I mentally ran through what needed to be done...What articles I needed to finish, what would I say to my boss if she questioned me on this and that, who should I contact, which e-mails should I reply first...
So mentally prepped, I step bravely into the office to face the day, only to discover my BOSS WAS ON LEAVE! Hahaha...immediately, all tension and dread evaporated from my being and my headache and stomach cramps vanished. I settled down happily to a great and surprisingly productive day at work. Which goes to show, happy, carefree employees are more productive than reluctantly responsible, stressed out ones.
Moral of the story: Bosses should always be on leave on Mondays.
