First morning back the office after trip to Luxembourg:1. Paralegal #1 tells me, tearfully, that she is terribly ill and will have to have surgery next week, causing her to miss 4-6 weeks of work, and by the way she's been here about five months and doesn't qualify for short-term disability, so can I authorize her not working (but getting paid) for two weeks and then working from home the rest of the time.2. Paralegal #2 tells me that she has to have some cysts removed from her face and also is battling an enlarged thyroid that might or might not be cancer--we'll find out in a few days.3. Lawyer tells me, not really tearfully but in much more of a shrieking way, that she was in the hospital Friday and Saturday after vomiting blood, and biopsy results have come in and her doctor said she needs to come to the office right away.I have seven other seemingly healthy people working for me. Should I just leave for the rest of the day before anyone else has a near-death experience?
