The little, strange things.

One of my employees is out sick. Might be medium sick, might be very sick. Don't know. Can't ask. She's been out a bit, and she'll be out until at least tomorrow. Then, she's out again Friday... and I don't know for how long.

This morning, my other employee (I have two internally, and about 30 freelancers on the outside) came in and said that she'd been up all night... and had been sleeping poorly for the last few nights. She's had chest pain, tooth pain (in her front teeth), and numbness in her arm. Obviously, her friends said "GO TO THE DOCTOR NOW."

So she finally called the doctor, and he said "Come in immediately."

I brought her uptown, and am writing this from the waiting room. Someone in the building has an open wireless network.

Selfishly, I think: "Shit. I've got two sick employees. That leaves just me in the office. How the hell am I supposed to keep things moving?" I'm such a jackass.

But when it comes to action, at least I'm doing the right thing. I brought her up here, and I'm going to wait until she gets out... her husband is stuck at work, so he can't be here. Yay, small business ownership... I can close the office if I want, and damn it all.

Love to all. Even you, the 100-year-old doctor.
