Decisions, decisions

Well, I have thought about it long and hard all week. I spoke with my husband Thursday night about all that had happened in the last couple of weeks, and my decision has been made. I will be taking my supervisor up on her suggestion that I take FMLA.

My doctor has been wanting me to get labs done and since I was still getting over bronchitis when she mentioned it again, routing the following week, and this week was just busy I was not able to get them done. I had emailed my supervisor Thursday afternoon before work ended for the day to let her know that I would be a little late to the office Friday morning so I could go do labwork. She went into freak mode questioning how long it was going to take, how many hours would I be gone, etc., etc. I seriously did not know what to say. It's lab work. It's not an appointment. It's a walk in and wait. I had no idea how long it would take. I could go and get right in and out, or I could be there for a bit waiting. Needless to say, I did not go and have my lab done that day. I figured since I am taking FMLA I would just wait. Geez. Ashley would have just said, "Sure, go ahead", and that would have been the end of it.

I emailed my supervisor today to let her know she can start the process. Now I will be able to schedule any doctor appointments and any labs needed.
