So, I spoke with Jessica last night about me taking a medical leave. She was cool with me doing it. Only concern was with how we go about getting it processed. I told her that I spoke with the woman at HR about it and that she would be contacting me next week. That she had asked if I'd been to a doctor yet. No, but I did call mine on Friday. I'll call the other one tomorrow since she's been the one dealing with my most recent ailments. And she's the one concerned about the migraines. So, this should go pretty smoothly for now. I'll step back for a while and work on stuff here at home. Get the house organized (finally) and looking respectable enough for visitors. And start cracking on the dissertation.
This will give Jessica and I a break from each other. And it allows her to give Melissa extra hours (as a means of distracting her from her grief and the fact that her husband is away on business for a month) as well as Jonathan. I know they want them but we don't have them to give. And maybe she'll be able to save some for the Harry Potter event.
So, overall, this will be a good thing. If Melissa doesn't come back next week, I'll probably work at least some of it. Hopefully she will be though.
Anyway, it is late and I'm tired. I'm opening in the morning so I need to get some rest. Hopefully now that this has a resolution (however temporary it may be at the moment), I'll be able to sleep again.

Hmmmm... so this is only a leave of absence, which means that you will come back and nothing will be resolved. And if you work when others can't, aren't you saying that you are not serious about your leave of absence? How the hank you gonna deal with all of this all over again in a few weeks? I fear that nothing will have changed.

You're right, of course. But this does seem a better way to deal with it than quitting outright. I am serious about my leave of absence but was already scheduled for this week before I asked for it. Believe me, I thought about starting it right away but I couldn't appease my caretaker and responsible sides by doing so. Plus I need to go through the proper channels before I can take off. (sigh) Unless I'm outright dying, you have to do a mound of paperwork. Hell, even then I probably would have tons of red tape. And this gives HR time to look into things without my being around. So, it works out for all. Oh, and added bonus, if we find that finances really won't stretch enough, I will still have a job I can do until school starts again. (shrug) Not an ideal solution but a solution.
PS Melissa will be back next week. So, I won't be worrying about that cause it seems that HR reserves the right to deny the leave if circumstances aren't good for the store that I do so. Sheesh. But they should be fine with it since we have three keyholders.
