This was just...stupid.
I had to bring the boyfriend to an emergency dental appointment because the side of his face just...swelled up this morning; no pain, just chipmunk-cheek. So I pick him up at work, bring him to the dentist, and pick him up. When I pick him up 2-hrs later he tells me he needed, and got, a ROOT CANAL!
He'd phoned work and told them that he had to get a root canal and would not be back that day.
WHILE he was having the root canal he got no fewer than 5 CALLS from his immediate boss (who's a jerk and slacker, maybe works 16hrs a week max) all along the lines of:
'So. Where are you now?'
'Will you be back?'
'Are you SURE you won't be back?'
'I need you to come back.'
'Why won't you be coming back in?'
And so on. Come on! THIS guy certainly wouldn't push himself to come in after a root canal! This is a guy who spilled PAINT on himself, which constituted such an emergency that he had to go home to change clothes...and never came back that day!
Against my judgement the boyfriend pushed himself to go into work at the ass crack of dawn today. He regularly works 60hr weeks, I think his boss would survive without him for one day, but he wants to prove to his boss that he's made of better stuff. Sigh. At least the owner of the company knows and would not care if he took a week off!

), it's a huge production and has to be cleared weeks in advance. And if my dad takes just *slightly* 'too long' on his one-hour lunch break (read: If it's been 35 minutes and he's not already back in the office or on his way there), he gets a call from work asking where he is.
