Kiri Blakely is a writer for "Forbes". Recently, she wrote an article posing the question: Should you get time off from work to recover from a BREAKUP?
--One argument against it is that work is a distraction from your screwed-up relationship, and that's a good thing. Plus, it's not like you or someone you love is dying. It's just a breakup. You'll get over it.
--On the other hand, breakups can be traumatic. A lot of the time, they're even tougher to get over than so-called "acceptable" excuses to get off work.
--I mean, if you just found out your husband of 20 years had poked holes through an entire lingerie football team, you might be more upset than if you found out your mean great-aunt passed away.
--According to Kiri, the worst part is that if you take time off work and your boss finds out why, you could be seen as weak-minded. At that point, you can probably kiss your chance at a promotion . . . if not your job . . . goodbye.
