Me time!!

This kind of seems like one of Baz's fictional office stories. I also sometimes sit silently in the corner like the proverbial fly on the wall and observe going-ons... One of the guys at the office was having a conversation with the accountant and it went something like this:

Time: 4:45pm, Friday.
ACC: Please prepare the orders for client X before you leave for the day.
GUY: Huh, I can't start working on those orders now. It will mean I have to leave here late. And then I will have to work on Saturday morning as well.
ACC: But you have to prepare the orders so that the client's ads can run on Monday morning. You know that if you don't then the campaign has to be pushed by a day.
GUY: This is really unfair. I have never left this office at 5pm and I intend to do so today. I need to spend more time with myself.....

OK, this was the part where I started laughing hysterically. The guy was refusing to do his job so that he could go home and spend time with "himself" You will be forgiven for thinking he has been missing "himself" for so long......hee hee!!!

Anyway, I want to take some time off work, a week perhaps. I am not going to spend time with "myself" but I am just going to be away from the office, which is a blessing at this point.
The thing is I feel I need to go away following my boda boda accident 2 Thursdays ago.....

The story is not nice at all but the long and short of it is that I was rushing to the office at 8am when the rider of the boda boda I was on thought he couldn't wait and decided to go straight across the junction only to get half way there and realize that he wasn't going to make it across fast enough to avoid being hit by the car to the right.
He decides to swerve sharply to the left without considering that there was another car coming from that direction. Suddenly, he is struck by the fact that he is about to be smashed by two cars and his mind goes blank; he loses control and leaps off the bike. I am sent flying to the ground landing smack in front of the car on the left and the bike landing on my left leg.

The only reason why my picture did not appear on the obituary pages is that the lady in the car to the left suddenly braked after seeing a smartly dressed lady lying in the middle of the road with a bike on top of her. At this point, my dear friend J would add "my life flashed before my eyes..." But I can't describe my thoughts at the exact moment besides the one clear one which was, thank God I decided to wear jeans today.....

I broke a bone in my left wrist, twisted my left ankle and everything else you can imagine. Thankfully, the only thing that ended up in a cast was my left hand. I actually went to work after the accident; I had been given an injection for the pain so I felt like I could make it through the day, not realizing that I was partially numb. When the injection wore off, I was in such pain that the tears were blurring my view of the computer desktop and soaking the keyboard.
I was trying to finish up on a client's project because I knew no one else could do it and that I wouldn't be able to make it to work the next day. Well, I took Friday and Monday off and was back at work on Tuesday because I knew that a lot was piling up on my desk.

I guess I did not give my body enough time to heal and it’s really complaining, so much that I have decided to take a week off to recuperate. I also need some "me time" Time away from this office is really what I need at the moment, I guess, I feel too stifled and disillusioned, for lack of a better word though I think disillusioned is the appropriate word to describe how I feel at the moment.

Anyway, I am off to write my sick leave email and then am heading home to give my aching shoulders some rest while hoping to God that there will at least be electricity at my place tonight...
