Well, really I'm sure he's sick, I just don't know what's wrong with him.
He came in an hour late this morning. (Not entirely unheard of. He IS the boss, after all.) He got here and his son (my other boss) went out to help him get some office supplies out of the car and bring them in. While Sr. was still outside and Jr. was inside he said, "Daddy's being hard headed. He's having chest pains and he won't go to the doctor."
And Jr. told me to keep an ear out for Sr. today. Since my office is right by his. Like, "if you here him hit the floor in there, call 911!" (in a half joking way)
Well, Jr. had to leave to go to an assignment and Sr. puts a call in to his doctor. The doctor calls back and sets him up a 1:15 appointment today. But he had me get his doctor on the phone about 20 minutes later and I heard him tell the girl he couldn't make it, it hurt too bad. So, Jr.'s wife was here and he got her to drive him to the E.R.
Then, just now, a lady comes by to pick up her girls (that were in the Jr's wife's office next door) and she told me that Sr. was at the E.R. and they think he is having a heart attack.
!!!!
Aside from being really nervous about his health, I'm a little ... disappointed ... that he never even said anything to me about it. I know that's supid. The old guy is as tough as nails. I have known him to sit in his office and work over several days while he was in the process of passing a kidney stone. He doesn't run to the doctor easily. And he and I have a sturdy working relationship, and that's all. I realize that he is of the opinion (correctly so) that I am the secretary and it is my duty to man my post here no matter what.
And I'm the only employee. So now the whole family is probably wringing their hands at the E.R. and I'm wringing my hands here at the office all by myself. I hope they will call and give me an update soon. He is going to be 65 next month, btw. He always jokes that he is one day older than me because his birthday is the day before mine.
