I wish I could honestly. The only people who have the authority to let me go aren't here right now - so I can't ask... and I can't disapear and leave the office unmanned either. And since I've already turned in my time card for today it probably won't go over well.
And no - my job isn't worth it. The last few times he's almost died I had to work right through it and I can't quit until honey's job starts generating some sort of income.
Thanks guys. =( I haven't heard back with anything new. This morning when my brother went in - his blood pressue was so low I'm surprised he didn't die right then. It was up to somewhere like 45/80 or something crazy after they gave him something.
This is just so hard... especially when he was starting to do better.

Nero - my daughters' grandfather went through this this past summer. He got real bad and it looked like it would be the end for him.
He made it through. I only say this to tell you that all may not be lost.
I'm not offering false hope. I really have no answers.
If you feel like you need to be with your dad be straight with your boss and see what arrangements can be made.

Tell the folks at work what's going on and that you're going to visit your Dad.
They'll let you go, if they don't that job is not worth it...
Go and be with your father.
You're a good daughter...

I can't wait to move and get a new job...

Nero... can you call someone to come in? can you get a hold of "the higher ups"? They can work out the time card thing later...
...but we are here with you.

Nero,
I went through this a few years back. I can empathize. Really try getting hold of your bosses, this IS an emergency. My prayers are with you.

I agree with everyone here Nero, get ahold of your bosses. You need to go see your father for your own peace of mind.
My prayers are with you and him.

Sorry for not posting in so long. I think I was so depressed I just sort of forgot about everything.
My father died on the 18th. My family and I are still trying to get back to normal if there is such a thing anymore.
I'm not sure what else to say.

So sorry to hear about your dad's passing away. You and your family will be in my prayers.
