:zzz: The proper thing to do is got to work, infect everyon there and then brag about how you came in when ill...

My co worker called in sick this morning, sniveling and whining about having a cold and being sore after shoveling snow all day yesterday. Yesterday I drove 2 1/2 hours into work in the snow only to be told upon arrival that they had closed the building. (I leave the house at 0430, the snow closure message wasn't posted until 0530, my coworker (actually she works for our client) who lives closer got the message and didn't come in.) They let me stay since I was already there and I sure as hell wasn't gonig to drive back home in the morning rush/snow mess. Earned some brownie points with the boss and client though and saved a vacation day*.;)


* As we are contractors at our clients location, if the building is closed we either have to come in anyway or take a vacation day since if my company gave us the day off they'd have to pay us, but would not recieve compensation from the client seeing as how we did no work...

If you're sick on a day you weren't supposed to be at work... well that's tragic.

Have some whisky. That's supposed to cure all ills. Even if it doesn't, at least the pain will be numbed.

Ah, the last resort of desperation, the argument ender, playing the "I gave birth" card...:sneaky: We can never top that one can we? Just tell her that her taintectomy doesn't make your illness any less valid.:sneaky:

I tell her I'd pierce my taint for her if it'll make her feel better.
