Tex, you are getting the respect you deserve. You have impressed your colleagues in a very short time at this new job, and they are willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. They know that there is something going on in your life, and they care about you enough to allow you the time to deal with it.

> I think that is Karma, It must go both ways.

yes it does- what your colleagues and boss are able to recognize is that you are human, and that you are not a robot. They know that if they give the space to recover, that when you come back, you will be even MORE dedicated towards working well and doing your best job. This is a very good call on their part, and it's good of you to communicate that you were not feeling well, but that you nonetheless are committed to doing your best at work.

You will put in an extra 30 minutes here and there, and gain some good graces. I know that when you go back to work on Tuesday you will feel like you've been given a fresh start. It will be wonderful.

In the meanwhile, you take extra good care of yourself. If there are things that you can fix that are under your control, then take care of them. Maybe you can do some loads of laundry and feel some pride in the accomplishment of transforming a pile of textiles into folded neatness? This will give you some hope and the organization will make you feel more positive about yourself and your life.

best wishes,
-Li

yes- whatever you are doing, keep it up. I try to keep my personal drama out of the office dynamic, except to the extent that I need to inform them about "feeling unwell". This will keep your colleagues focused on TexChic as a colleague and an employee, which is a very positive image, I think.
