Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

Bad Omen

I don't believe in omens, but that doesn't stop me from looking for them. Today is not starting out right. I wanted to sit on the patio this morning, read the newspaper and drink tea. What stopped me was rat droppings on three chairs and the table.

I'm so tempted to call in sick. I'm still exhausted from last night and am not thinking clearly, but I hate to waste a sick day on a feeling cruddy day. If I stay home, I'll still feel cruddy. I might as well go to work and feel cruddy there. I would rather save my sick days for when I can enjoy them.

Your absolutely right! Who wants to waste a sick day when your sick? Sick days are for when you feel like a million bucks, and in the mood to play with the credit card or go to the beach!

After reading about the red dress psycho, I think you should start paying attention to those bad omens and call in sick more often!

My thoughts exactly, Michelle.

Sarah, if I called in sick every time there was a bad omen, I wouldn't have a job anymore.
