Yeah, I'm working a shitty job, it's my first. I played poker well enough to pay for small crap I needed.. clothes, food, etc. I have a tiny BR now because I could never move up due to small (yet very frequent) cashouts.

So she wrote me up for coming in! Said if I were sick, I wouldn't have come in in the first place no matter how much she begged me. That's the thanks you get, eh?

I passionately hate stupid people that have authority over my life. This story illustrates why.

As a former supervisor, I have the following insight:

1. People often come into work after trying to come in sick given a little cajoling.

2. People often attempt to call in sick when not really sick.

3. A sick employee can often be productive enough to make the difference between getting [censored] from my boss and not getting [censored] from my boss.

I fervently hope your house burns down soon.

Your house caught fire? Wow man, that sucks. I could really use you today though. Are you sure you can't make it in?

I didn't go. He called my house, my mom answered, she said he wasn't too pissed, but said they really needed me. She explained how crappy I was feeling.

I'm feeling even worse today. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Yeesh. Blarg, if a boss tried to write me up for something like that I'd have given her a choice -- either retract the write-up or I'm quitting.

I'm gonna start giving work my mom's phone number when I call in sick. Yeah, my mom's taking care of me. Call her.

I don't get this. Uh, my mom answered because I was asleep, assuming that's what you were referring to.

Anyway, I was called in again last night. As soon as I got there I was coughing nonstop and sweating profusely.. profusely I say! Anyway, I think I had a fever. I had to go outside to cool off like 3 times within the first hour.

Then I started coughing more until I was dryheaving again. Finally my coworker just said, "Go home, dude. If you're sick, you're sick."

I went home. Boss called today. He's calling me back in tonight. I hate being sick.

Just tell him to piss of. This is a [censored]-ass job obviously. Don't let people take advantage of your well-intentioned desire to demonstrate a good work ethic.
