Yeah, so if you know me...
I wear that there hearty of mine proudly on my sleeve. I don't really care too much what anyone thinks about it. I am a very intense and intuitive individual most days. Whether I show that to you or not, that's me.
So when I got word that I should get to VA sooner than later to visit my pal Babs who is in hospice, I immediately set out to see when would be good for my pal Kelly to have me there to hang with Babs (her mom). I left a message for the boss of the wee Poco and hope the time off does not create too much of an issue. Hopefully no issue at all.. but I gotta go.. I can't not go. So I booked a flight. Without getting word if it's ok with my workplace or not... am I worried it'll cause stress for them?
Of course..
Can I do anything about it at this point?
No.
I gotta go.
THis kind of thing makes me a less than stellar employee... I'm sure. But I feel like I am a human being first. My own mother and my close friends matter to me more than anything in this world. I am nothing if not a fierce friend. I have a bunch of love and laughter to bring to my pal Babs. And that is what matters.
This is kind of a heavy post. But know what? It's what my day is driven by right now.

You gotta do what you gotta do. Things like this should take precedence over work ... and if your workplace is as cool as it seems Poco is, the folks there will be fine with it.
Sorry about the circumstance, but good on ya for booking the flight!!
