forgot rest/sick days were an option...

and i dont seem to know how to properly abide by them

i called in to tell my boss i wasn't feeling so good--
but! that id be there soon, just wanted to call and let him know
that i may leave a couple hours early today because of it

his response?
umm if youre not feeling good, then you dont have to go to work
you havent called in sick once, you dont have to come today
and i sat there completely confused
but there's work and stuff due?
and he said--well yes
but we can find a way to work around those
if you're not feeling well, you don't have to go to work


...i think it's that last line
yknow, the shouldve-been-super-obvious-one?
was like an epiphany..!
...that i apparently quickly ignored
but an epiphany nonetheless!

and by ignored i mean--i DIDNT go back to bed
when it was seriously like, painfuulll to get out to begin with
instead i figure i am already awake
so im going to use my waking hours to work on my paper some more
and go to the career fair a lil later or something before it ends

i know i should probably sleep..
im pretty sure i should have been like--
since last night

i think sneezing's probably normal
my body just likes to bluff sometimes
but i know itll probably get better with enough rest
....whenever that is =x

im sitting on the couch with my laptop to do work
and it reminds me of studying with him
glancing across the couch at each other
and the words FOCUS! being silently but urgently mouthed or implied
forcing me to bury my head back in my book or behind my screen


the eye contact is worth it tho < 3
i think i just enjoy the company
i think i just enjoy the rest

They can always make new deadlines, we CAN'T make another Hannah =[

You always do so much, and try hard for other people, but I gotta remind you that you're loved very much by your friends, and we'd be very sad if you got really sick because you're working too hard. (..another holy run on sentence batman! situation.)

This'll sound selfish, but I want to know that you're being taken care of, by your loved oness, and equally importantly, by yourself.

aaaand enough of seriousnesses.. "Green otters"?! You are fabulous.
