So I am a little ticked off at the moment.
See today My dad is having a fairly major surgery. He has a buldging disc in his neck that has been causing him Intense pain for the past 2-3 weeks, his entire arm and hand is asleep at the moment making it hard to drive, write or do anything with that hand, However he has has extreme shoulder pain. Therefore he is undergoing surgery today.
I decided rather than take the day off to sit with my mom in the waiting area I would work most of they day and go to the hospital later as I know my dad will already be spending the night. So my work day is from 8am until 5 pm. I was planning on working through lunch and leaving at 4 pm. Which means I will still work an 8 hour shift today.
When I told my boss about my plans to leave at 4 pm today, her attiditude towards me just irritated me.
This is the convo
Me: So I am going to leave around 4 today to go to the hospital
Boss: Oh what time is your dad's surgery at?
Me: He should be going in about now I think
Boss: Oh well its a pretty long surgery when (her hubby) had it it was long
But the feeling I got was that she was saying I don't have a reason to be at the hospital sooner rather than later. Um Hello they are doing neck surgery on my dad! I feel like its a fairly big deal, but maybe it isn't
What do you think?
