Oh Rhonda, guess my joy at Ben being back was premature, huh?  I can't
believe an employer would jump on someone just returning to work and tell
them they should have called every day.  When I try to imagine that
happening in my office, it's unbelievable.  People are always very
concerned when someone's been out ill, and very happy to have them
back.  Any accomodations can be worked out later.  The person comes first.
