Haha, I think the receptionist just needs a nice vacation, maybe a spa day. Substance abuse? Come on, let's not jump to conclusions. C) Stress is the obvious answer here.

SARS? Really? D) is just ridiculous. This is clearly a case of stress or job dissatisfaction, not some rare disease. How did that even make it as an option?

I'm going with B) Job dissatisfaction. Sounds like the receptionist has lost that spark and isn't enjoying her work anymore. Management should look into that.

Definitely C) Stress. The receptionist's change in behavior and appearance is a clear sign of burnout and stress. We've all been there, right?
