These men just have no sympothy or compassion. I'm expected at the office unless I'm on my death-bed, and even then, I think their response would be "there's no since lying around waiting to die, you need to just come in and get the work done while you can". My boss actually said something mean like that to me once before. When my aunt was dying of cancer and the family was called in to the hospital because they didn't think she'd make it through the night, I called off work the next day and my boss said, "why do you want to sit around the hospital waiting for someone to die, there's nothing you can do to help her." GRRRRRRRRR I was like, "No, but I can be there for my dad who is losing his sister!!!!!!"
Anyway, adjec can you send some of your PMA my way?

My DH is great too, he really took care of me after my surgery, waiting on me hand and foot. It helps this whole process be a little easier when you have someone great standing beside you walking through it with you.
Well, ladies, have a great day, I have to get back to work.
