I felt like shat the past couple days. I called off on Thursday & Sunday due to illness. Today, things are perking up, but I don't want to go work with a bunch of cunts. Seeing that it all counts as one occurrence, should I just say fuck it and phone in again?


Note - I worked every major holiday this year and the last time I called off was sometime around June.

I can't really vote not having all of the facts. :loco:

You say you are feeling a little better...it is a well-documented fact that employees going to work while ill, no matter how good the intent, is generally worse for the company. Not only are they less productive, they could pass the ailment along. So...based on that, I would vote that you stay home and listen to metal...provided that you plan to actually rest while doing so and are not planning to wrestle a bottle of whiskey to the ground.

As for not calling in since June...I don't see that as a reason to do so now. That is just a testament to the strength of your character. You work when you are able. If you are trully still under the weather, think of yourself first. You know the company would do the same.
 
I have to call in sick tonight

Not because I want to or I'm sick. Just because my family is made up of a bunch of fucking mildly retarded retards and thrusted me into situations I wish not be in.
 
How much sick time do you get a year? Did it reset at the beginning of the year?

My company used to have unlimited sick time. They implemented a cap on it this year at 5 days. If someone goes past that, they have to use vacation or unpaid time off. The 5 days do not carry over. I look at it as extra vacation time if I don't use all of mine. :heh:
 
Jim you always understand me so well.

Normally, I'd say: be responsible and all, but today is HELL DAY!

I agree.

Let it be known that January 14th is HELL DAY aka Royal Carnage Call-In-Sick-To-Work day. Next year there should be a poll of everyone calling in sick :loco:
 
I look at it as extra vacation time if I don't use all of mine. :heh:

That's what most people do, which is why more and more companies are instituting the PTO (Paid Time Off) format where it doesn't matter whether you're sick or on vacation, it all gets deducted from one set number of days or hours. Basically it eliminates sick time since the majority of PTO days are set to the same number of days most people get for vacation time.

Studies have also shown that for companies that have changed from a traditional separate sick/vacation day format to one PTO format, those comapnies have seen for the most part a dramatic decrease in the number of sick days taken.

*Astonishing* LOL

I get 248 hours a year, and it carries over. Right now I'm at 150. I hate every human being known to man. My head is killing me due to going out in to civilization and running fuck all errands.

First I go and grab some sushi. This was a joyous occasion as I'm extremely infatuated with this geisha waitress who has the silkiest skin known to man. She doesn't put on any of those face packs Susperia clings to to give her flesh that vibrant glow. This calm experience was surrendered to liberal faggots (yes they were gay), who decided to sit next to me in a 60 seat restaurant that was completely empty during the time. I had to sit through a conversation on Michael Moore, Hillary, and negar Obama. I finished my meal and took my boiling blood elsewhere.

On to errand number two; I went to take care of a collections debt with blockbuster video. I kept a couple dvds 6 months past there due. Before any one jumps to conclusions, be advised that I spend $20 a month on a blockbuster online membership which I NEVER use. So anyhow, the twenty year old college liberal cocksucking nancy boy at the counter has the fucking gall to charge me $50 for Rescue Me Season 3 disc 4. My jaw hits the floor harder than Steve Wilson visiting Martin Lopez in rehab. I tell the young lad that I think it is absurd that I'm being charged $50 for a dvd set, while I am only being given ownership entitlements to one of the four discs. (Seriously, isn't that some fucking shit??!) The manager who looked like a young Benjamin Franklin saw things my way and charged me for the disc alone. My hypertension slowly died.

This is until I see a my pals on a street corner talking on a cellphone. Abraham Lincoln, I Fucking Hate You!!! :erk:

I then proceeded to the grocery store. Nothing of note to tell from that excursion.

Onwards I trekked to the post office. They' were all out of proper packaging so I was forced to pay an extra $5 on my exported goods.

On the way home I seen two more my pals waiting for the MTA. Ghastly experience all around. I nearly threw up on several occasions. Needless to say, my head is fucking THROBBING!!! :puke:
