ORIGINAL: Gwynvyd *chuckles* yeah I can see it now.. " Sorry I simply can not come in! I broke a nail.. and my hair just is not doing what I want it to do.. I am a wreck" ROTFLMAOSTC (rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off, scaring the cat) I can see it now. . . my boss would probably either rush to my house himself or call my other half to come home because I was having some sort of mental breakdown. Of course, this is also the boss that saw me working day after day while some stupid menstral cramps kept getting worse. I finally wnet to the doctor (feeling like a wuss) and guess what, they weren't cramps, but a cyst bigger than my ovary. Later, he was the one that picked me up from the ER because the stupid thing burst. I worked while preggers, until they put me in the hospital. I have worked with a broken foot. I have worked hungover. Now, do not get me wrong, I am not a superwoman. But the fact of the matter is, women work while in pain or discomfort just like men do. And I do believe that the research shows that women have a higher pain tolerance. And as far as the "getting all that time off after a baby" goes. The fact is, the doctor is NOT going to release you back to work until a certain number of weeks have passed. (It depends on natural or c-section and any complications) And anyone that has either had a baby or has known someone that has, knows that those first few weeks are not a fairytale vacation. Argh! Some people.
