OTOH:
From Caledonia, MI to Indianapolis, IN
Distance: 292.4 miles
Granted, it's a 5-hour drive...however, we don't know how long she was with her husband that day...or her emotional state, either....(not making excuses for her...but she may have also been extremely emotional).
Perhaps, but then why didn't she call in Monday morning and tell them that she couldn't come in for emotional reasons? I guess it depends on whether or not she really did tell them beforehand that she might take Monday off, like she claims.
Bottom line, I don't know who is telling the truth, and can't draw a conclusion. But neither can the headline writer, who did so anyway.
