For those that need a good chuckle — Just in case
It is a strange thing to be wary of a 3-5% chance of recurrence. I have found myself trying to ensure that everything is taken care of for my family, even if it only reduces the workload on my wife for a couple days.
I have my finance and accounting staff prepped (although they dont know it) with all recourses needed if I am out of work for a length of time. I have documents prepped for my company’s investors, bankers, etc. drafted for the next quarter (dividend payments, interest calculations, financial forecasts, etc.)
I never allow more than a few articles of clothing to remain in the hamper at home. I always have the grass cut short just in case. The dishes are always done. The groceries are always ready. The cars are always gassed up. Cleaned the basement and garage out yesterday.
:p
All finances, insurance, college savings accounts, etc. are all laid out and organized in my home office (although wife is unaware). I have thought through ways to communicate with my wife if I cant talk or even move.
Lots of stupid little things like that are getting done, as if a recurrence could hit again, just to help family for a few days of reduced household work. It truly is laughable. I even have a plan laid out for others (neighbors / friends) to help my wife out throughout her pregnancy (not due until June!!!).
Well — time to draft up preliminary performance appraisals for my staff (not due until January) — hee hee hee.
Strange bug, this GBS, and especially my reaction to it. 😮
