Good Wednesday Evening!  I've actually been home most of the day.  I told my boss that I had a migraine this morning and he came to be about 8:45 and told me that it would be better for me to go home and not suffer so I can come back to work feeling great and able to concentrate.  He kept emphasizing to me that there are no worries, it won't hurt my job to take off today.  His reasoning is that we are still slow right now as our heavy influx of work hasn't started coming in, yet, so right now he can afford to let me take the rest of the day off.  Later on, especially after the first of the year, it will be a lot harder to take off early because we'll be under a lot more stressful conditions, but for now and probably the rest of November, it is a lot easier and won't derail the train to use his words.  He also told me that if I still have a migraine in the morning to not even attempt to come in, just call him and let him know.  He wants me there on Friday for sure, but he wants me well and feeling good.  I took off about 9:20 and came home and took a 5 hour nap, not waking up till 1500.  Right now, my headache is back down to the moderate stage it was at for the last 10 days.  If it stays like this, I'll have no problem going in tomorrow.  If it goes back up, then I will heed his advice.  Hopefully, I can go tomorrow.

You're ******.  It doesn't matter what your boss says, you're ******.  

Do you not understand that when you're a grown ass man and you have a job you just started that you don't go whining to your boss about a friggin headache?

I've actually gotten better driving in the snow since I spent two winters ago in Utah.  A half inch that will be gone by Monday is nothing.  That said, since I do have to drive 32 miles to work one way, my dad has asked me to spot nearby hotels for the heavier snow conditions as we get deeper into Winter.  Even though I'm better at driving, it would make no sense to drive 32 miles on icy roads.  My nerves would be shot and my parents' nerves would be shot...

More use of the "train" metaphor. The writers are on fire right now.

Anyway, it's time to start looking for the next job of the week, Jeff.

Wow, not even working there a week and already the boss wants him as far from the office as possible.

Bushie I really think it's time to consider a different career path. It's probably too late to get a holiday retail job, but you could still try.

And please for the love of god read King's post and change your diet that is currently literally only things that exacerbate headaches.

Guys, there is no reason to worry.  I have nothing to be worried about.  My boss would not give me false expectations.  If he says there is nothing to worry about, then there is nothing to worry about.  Period.

It's genetic.  Nothing not normal about genetics.

If you're already taking time off from your a week in, you're done. It's a temp job anyway, they just want bodies to fill the seats.

How you can continue to ignore obvious signs is just mind boggling to me. It happens at every job.

Can someone please find and post all of the similar statements he said about the last job?

Better yet, can someone compile an index of Bushie quotes categorized by appropriate topic? Ex. "Denies problems at work", "Denies problems with weight", "Warns us not to mock his faith", "JJ/Blondie"...

You literally said the exact same thing about your last boss/job.

You have absolutely no faith that I can ever do anything good, do you?
