I had been off work for about 2 weeks with migraines. I asked my doctor (via voicemail) last thursday to fax a note to HR saying that I was "released" to work. (i find this concept dumb, b/c its a migraine! its not like i'm working with a broken limb) Well, the doctor forgot. After 30 minutes at work I was told to go home. What a waste!

I left a message at the doctor's office requesting the note (again) at 9:05am. I finally received a call back at 1:42pm, but i was on my scooter and didn't get the call. The nurse left a message saying she didn't get my message last Thursday (thanks!) and the doctor won't be in until Wednesday. She's not allowed to write the note and I'll have to call back then. DAMNIT!!!

This thing is so messed up that its giving me another migraine! So I call HR and explain the situation, but they won't let me come in to work until I have a piece of paper from my doctor- yet they want to bitch at me for being gone. I told them it will be Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning before I can be back. Work doesn't understand that I can't waltz into the doctor's office on Wednesday demanding a note at opening time-- i have to wait like everyone else. 

By the time I do get the paperwork done, I probably will be sick and have to take off another few days to recover. blegh
