Working. A good excuse not to call your beau for a whole week?

No I don't think thats a good excuse...\nThere's a whole chapter in "He's just not that into you" called "He's just not that into you if he's not calling you"\nBasically it says that if a guy really liked you, he would want to call you because you would brighten up his day.  Be a break in his busy hectic day.  That with speed dialing and cellphones he should have at least 3 minutes in his day to return your call, even if its just to let you know "Hey, sorry I've been busy, I've been meaning to get back to you, can we talk more [state a time when he will set aside for you]"\nI say don't call him, see what he does.

I have a job like that: pleasing my BF.  I put in my time 3X a week, it's a duty but also a pleasure and I am not compensated monetarily for it, at least not directly.  That would make me a ho.  LOL.

I think that looking busy is actually harder work than just doing your job, and the time doesnt half drag. If you're gonna not work then go the whole hog, put your feet on the desk and tell your boss you're having an 8-hour break. Or just go home.

First chill out, dont start biting his head off just for not cleaning up or being a little late.  GENTLY ask him or talk to him about whats been going on in his life lately or how his days have been, could be work related, could be not feeling well, we all can't have days where we're up and about getting everything we want, done and on time............so just talk to him, its no reason to start giving him the cold shoulder unless he's out partying or "elsewhere" and coming home late.  He shouldn't be mad if you're just asking curiously about why his actions have been changing and he's not cleaning up, etc etc.  You should be just fine.  Good luck.  :)

Yes, you should definitely call her. It's not completely over unless she states so. Probably she's holding onto the same ego that you are by not calling her.

Wow.  Five weeks of vacation/sick?  That IS incredible.  You better take advantage of what they're giving you while you can since you're going to be slammed starting in Jan.  You're wanting to take off the 4 remaining days you have around Christmas.  I would imagine it would be pretty slow around that time anyway.  The easiest way to approach your boss is to simply ask.  Something like, How's it looking around such and such dates?  I'd like to take 4 days but if we're going to be busy during that time, then I could work something else out.  Your job sounds great.

I would wait until the the day after next....Soon enough not to be rude and make her think you're not going to call but not TOO eager,

Can you write me an excuse to miss work today!?  I really don't wanna go........Also, can you make my neighbor stop throwing his sticks and trash in my yard because he's too lazy to put them out front for the city to pick up!? I need someone with some authority to make that happen....N-kay! \n\n(Hey, I always wondered if God ever just "banged in" because of stress days.....Thx!~)

Let me give you some good advice - it's not a good idea to date someone with whom you work.\n\nIt gets complicated, everyone knows your business, and if it doesn't work out you have to see the person every day.

You're calling him, you really don't need a reason.  Just ask him how he's doing.  Or remember something about him, that triggered an urge to call him.  "I saw *****, and it reminded me of the time..."\n\nYou're a girl calling a guy, you really don't need an excuse.

If he didn't leave you a number in which to contact him while away, sounds like he's up to no good....and the people he either works or socializes with have probably been covering him, so I think you will have to wait until he returns ....at which point, I'd set him down for some serious talking...good luck!

I am sorry your weekend was bad, but if you are not better by monday then you better take a day off and rest...all day!\nSounds like you need it anyway!

the next day at least, unless he asks you to call same day and then wait a few hours. never call as soon as you get away from them, make'em sweat it out a little,

not calling in for a week is considered 'job abandonment', in which case, you have no case against them. I know this is a legit reason for termination, because it was used on me. However, I *had* called in. In fact, I had worked a full 10 hour shift during the time they claim they had not heard from me. However, it wasn't worth it to me to fight them in court. Maybe I should have. Turns out, they were fighting like 10 lawsuits at one time.
