I just started a job. I worked for 4 days,then no showed,no called.I was recently diagnosed bipolar and strongly advised to not take on this new job yet! But i did,and i just didn't go in one day,and was having an episode of depression and crying all day.My boss called the next day and we talked a bit about what was going on with me and she was very understandin about it!! She wants me to still work there, but is giving me a couple of weeks for my new bipolar medication to take effect. I was moved that she was so nice to me and still gave me a job.Do i send her a thankyou card?

You can if you like. I'm sure you already thanked her when the two of you spoke on the phone. A card is always nice, but I wouldn't go overboard with thank yous. Just do your best to show up for work and do a good job. That will be a thank you as well and your boss will feel that she made the right decision by hiring you. I wish you all the best. I know this thing is hard to live with.

This is a bit late for the traditional "Thank you for the lovely ____" note...That said, a hand-written letter (doesn't have to be long) saying "We regret that we were not able to send out traditional thank you cards when we were first married. However, now that time allows, we do want to say thank you for attending our wedding and for the lovely _______. Please know that our failure to acknowledge your presence on our special day and the gift you gave us does not diminish our appreciation. We have indeed thought of you and of your kindness on many occasions. (It's good if you can include some brief instance of use of the gift or how you have displayed it in your home - to bring the gift to mind and let the giver know it has had presence in your life.) With gratitude for the gift as well as your understanding, Jane and John Dough" With this you have accomplished a 'thank you' and given an apology for the delay. Also in not using traditional thank you notes you avoid the awkwardness of presenting those so far after the event. I don't think it would help to go into the long explanation as to why the delay occurred. Suffice it to say you are sorry for the delay and you appreciate their attending your wedding (if they did) as well as the gift. You can of course reword the note for those who sent a gift but did not attend by omitting the parts that refer to attendance at the wedding. Also, use some nicer stationary like G Lalo or something - so that the note presents well since it is what the reader will have to show that you are appreciative.

Don't worry about some of hurtful answers you have got. Some people just don't have a clue about what others are going through!
Well, I can understand your situation and I can feel your gratitude towards your boss. She really is very understanding and God bless her! Nice to think that we still have those kind people among us. Well, send a thank you card, that would be nice. I know you feel deepely moved by her understanding.
It would also be nice to send her a note with the card, saying something like, "I feel that my condition is improving with the medication and I am looking forward to work with you soon. etc.."
You would get alright with your medication and you would be able to start work again. Don't worry. Think positively. I'll pray for your health.

Send her flowers! That is very kind thing for her to do for you.
I had a friend who was bipolar and totally understand your situation. Please know that with medication your like can be very normal..
Good Luck

That would be great to show your appreciation. She went out of her way for you so you should do the same.

You need to go to work and learn to deal with reality and quit being a tit suck . We have all had problems but some of us deal with it and some cry about it and want somebody else to take care of them .

Don't waste 39 cents, you will surely loose that job really soon, being that you cannot even work one week, good Lord!
