So, since I have to take the day off ANYWAY

I booked tix to the Aquarium and afterwards, I think Alex is going to help mommy spend some of that money she saved in real estate taxes

I have to say, even though we don't have family to help, at least I have this job. I don't have to worry anymore about the senior partner calling me every 10 minutes screaming at me for taking an unexpected day off, and demanding that I get into work in 20 minutes

Re: So, since I have to take the day off ANYWAY

It's sad but obviously there are still places that are run by the "old boys' network". Men who make enough money who marry women who either stay home and/or have hired help so they never have to deal with a sick kid. God forbid it gets in the way of billable hours or, more likely, their golf game

I'm glad you are now at a place where the pressure isn't as great.
