i have strep throat. nasty icky strep. it started this morning, about an hour after i got to work. i asked the school nurse to look at my throat (how funny is it that i still go to the school nurse?), and she told me it was hugely red with white spots. so i went to the woman in charge of scheduling (i'll call her BitchCakes) while Boss Lady is on her honeymoon and told her i had to go home. i called momdukes and told her to get me a doctor's appointment. then BitchCakes calls me and says "can you stay through rest time, since they'll be laying down?" i agree, since i figure it's hard to find someone that last-minute anyway, and Coworker the Potential Lush had called out for her third monday in a row so we were short-staffed. momdukes called to tell me that i had an appointment at 2:50. i tell BitchCakes that i need to leave by 2:30, half an hour earlier. she tells me i have to stay til three. i say, but i have a doctor's appointment. she says, let me see what i can do. i go back to my room, get snack ready and do everything i can to help out. she comes back to my room with this little smirk on her face and says "you have to stay til three. sorry." let me just say: i have strep throat. i am highly contagious. and i had to stay for four and a half hours.
new appointment now. more later.
