Pathetic

I’ve been feeling poorly for the last several days.  I think I’m getting a chest cold, and knowing me, I’ll wait too long to get to the doctor and it’ll turn into pneumonia or Legionnaires Disease or something.  I haven’t called in sick.  Not because I’m an irresponsible employee or anything, but because I’m afraid that I’ll stay home on a day that I’m feeling poorly, and the next day I’ll feel SO MUCH WORSE, and I will have wasted valuable sick time.

I knew that I was officially pathetically rundown and sick this afternoon.  I have irrefutable proof.  I decided to come home for lunch and on the way there was an OnStar commercial on the radio.  I swear to all that I deem holy, I cried.  I sat there in my car and cried over a freaking OnStar commercial. 

“Don’t worry, Ma’am, the emergency vehicles are on their way. You’ll be alright,” the calm lady on OnStar told the panicked driver.

And there I sat, bawling in the middle of the intersection.  “Oh that must be so scary…..waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Good grief.
