Really Feeling The Love

Sadly, a close friend passes away. I continue with work the next day and those after, trying my best to make it through and support my friend’s widow with what little time I have. I tell my boss four days ahead of time that I will be taking a day for the funeral and will be unavailable. I am hoping they’ll be supportive, but…

Boss: “Will you need the whole day?! I don’t know how we’ll manage. Sorry anyway.”
