Good morning, couch peeps....

I'm trying to decide if I'm going in to work today. I only work 1 day a week, and more than half of the day's pay is deducted from my unemployment so it only makes it financially worthwhile for me to work 3 hours. I am still suffering greatly with this migraine, and my boss last week told me that I wasn't really needed much because not much is going on - but that without me there, nothing much will come....so it's a catch 22. Not a good feeling.

I don't want to be seen as unnecessary as I am still holding onto the hope that I will get a full time job there....and I don't want to be seen as unreliable either. And when my unemployment does run out, if I don't have full time work, I want to at least have that one full day each week. So, for those reasons, I want to go in. But I am feeling SO poorly right now with this migraine.

I could ask to go in another day, but I have several appts. tomorrow and Thursday....so the only other day I'm available is Friday...which wouldn't make sense cuz I'd be going in on Monday.

If I go in for at least a few hours, then I'd at least get some work done - and the company wouldn't have to pay me for a whole day which saves them money (especially when there's not much for me to do at the moment anyway). But, that goes back to me being seen as unreliable and unnecessary.

Ugh. Decisions, decisions.

I guess I'm gonna just brace myself and go to the office. That's the safe thing to do.

I have group T tonight and then am meeting with my comedy class. Not sure if I'm gonna make it to either of those things. Migraines are the worst.
