I was really worried about going to work today. I am almost certain now that I have strep throat. This morning my sister screwed me about in regards to the shower. She knew I had to work today. I told her last night. So just before I go into the bathroom to have my shower, she goes in and takes one. So when I do finally get into the shower, there is no hot water. Thats soooo inconsiderate!
If that were not bad enough, it is cool outside, and I was now facing having to walk to work, still sick with wet hair. So I phoned Tina, my lady boss to see if it would be OK to be an hour or so late so my hair could dry. She noticed my voice was still wanky so told me not to worry for today. She and Ben can cover it. Instead she asked if I could come in tomorrow for 2 hours, and then only if I am up to it. She will call me tomorrow to make sure. They really are concerned over my health, and they are very aware that I am always willing to work. She pointed out that she knows I am willing to work, because on days that I am off, I often come visit them, and am always willing to step in to help if a crowd comes in and they get busy. Tina knows I can't take pills, and a few times when she has known I was working and not feeling 100% has brought me something to make me feel better. Once when I had a soar throat she bought me a Tim Horton's Iced cappuccino. The last day I worked before taking time off, she gave me some hot tea to help with my congestion. It really amazes me and lifts my spirits up, when I find understanding and kindness from unexpected sources. I don't know how others feel about my saying this, but I truly do believe God must have lead me to that store back in June. Where else would I have found such nice people to work for. Even so that Ben may have a bit of a temper at times, Tina's kindness and Thoughtfulness more than makes up for it. So today, for this Thanksgiving Sunday I would like to say Thank you God for giving me such kind and understanding bosses. Understanding and kindness can come from a family member, friend, boss, coworker, neighbour, or even a stranger. Is there anyone in particular in your life who has helped you or shown you kindness, that you are thankful for? I'm just curious... Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. Posted on 10/12/08, 10:10 am |

You poor woman, you have been sick for so long! What a blessing indeed to have such wonderful, caring people at the workplace ..rare indeed! Your comment on God bringing you to that store to be employed there because of the kind people.. I do believe that can happen, but also remember that it may not happen to just anyone. I believe it happens to people who deserve to have this in their lives. People who in turn are kind to others. I believe there is a reason for everything. What goes around comes around... get my drift??? Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and please feel better soon!

OOOOPS, I FORGOT...The people I am thankful for in my life are my great kids, who make my life so special and happy, and my friend Joan, who may live in Florida, but is a great friend to me, and is always there for me, my therapist who is an angel on Earth.. not only professional, but warm and caring, and so insightful, and also for my wonderful good friends here at DS, for without them, there would surely be days that I would not have come through! Thanks to you all!
