Presence

How do you make a relationship work when one of you is never there? How do you cope when you really like your boss? How do you make your partner understand that working late is a necessity? How do you control your arachnophobia when there are spiders everywhere? And how do you overcome the basic fear of living your life?


presenteeism [prez.un.TEE.iz.um] n. The feeling that one must show up for work even if one is too sick, stressed, or distracted to be productive; the feeling that one needs to work extra hours even if one has no extra work to do. Even if it makes you neglect your wife and threatens to wreck your marriage. And makes you lose all rational perspective. And maybe even destroys your life.

For adults only. Especially the screwed up, stressed out, bottled up, confused ones.
