sigh

Posted by tRuMaN (aka Truman) Oct 13 '09, 15:14

I have three meetings tomorrow. my throat is a little swollen, making it a bit harder to swallow, and I am starting to cough alot.

if I can make it through tomorrow, I can take thursday and friday as sick days right? I mean, those would be only my 3rd and 4th sick days of the year.

note, I have 75+ unused sick days.

Responses:

Go to the meetings and leave after the last one, stay home till you feel better. Maybe Monday. -- nm - lileve Oct 13, 18:20

I did the same thing yesterday (but not because of meetings, because I don't get paid when I don't work.) - kelly Oct 13, 15:26

    - no, actually I do. I am presenting an audit report draft to a board in 2 of them - tRuMaN Oct 13, 15:19 25
      - well, ignoring this particular meeting for a moment, why don't you ever take days off? it's not healthy. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 15:20 24

        We need to send you Dawson, a case of tequila, and have you take 2 weeks off. - the liioulu with parts Oct 13, 15:23 10
        
        VeraCharles is still here in town somewhere, but he would probably only take me to gay bars. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 13, 15:35

        I misread that as crotch. -- nm - Remlik Oct 13, 15:34
        
        Boom, headshot. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 15:33 3
        
        no, more like - tRuMaN Oct 13, 15:36 2
        
        see, "head" is navy parlance for toilet. Headshot. 15 feet away. You can do it! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 15:37 1
        
        ah, yes. - tRuMaN Oct 13, 15:42
        
        you should go on a *vacation*. if you can take 5 days to fix up the house, you can take 5 days for a change of scenery. -- nm - Andie Oct 13, 15:22 7
        
        totally. If there is anyone here that needs a vacation it's Truman. -- nm - Remlik Oct 13, 15:23 3
        
        umm, thanks, I guess. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 13, 15:38 2
        
        All the energy that was put into this thread could have gone into getting your work done so you could take the days off, slacker - con_carne Oct 13, 15:43 1
        
        meh, I worked during this thread. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 13, 15:44
        
        i could, if I could find someone to take care of my cat - tRuMaN Oct 13, 15:23 2
        
        hire a pet sitter. there's entire companies who do this. -- nm - Andie Oct 13, 15:24 1
        
        (and they'll come visit your cat in it's own home.) -- nm - Andie Oct 13, 15:25
        
        it's not really that easy for everyone. if you have no-one to cover you, it's tough to just not go in. -- nm - Andie Oct 13, 15:21 2
        
        ayup -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 13, 15:32 1
        
        Well, if you're a single point of failure, you have a management problem. Everyone needs a backup. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 15:46
yes by gawds do it. if you don't you might end up being sicker then expected - Epiphany Oct 13, 15:16
I'm with Beaker, take the sick days. - the liioulu with parts Oct 13, 15:16
Hmmm... *Considers reactivating the Halo 3 brackets on Thursday and challenge tRuMaN* -- nm - Mop (231 lbs) Oct 13, 15:16 1
- heh. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 13, 15:20
take Thursday and Friday as sick days -- nm - Beaker Oct 13, 15:15 6
- Tomorrow, too. Are these meetings something he *wants* to go to? -- nm - con_carne Oct 13, 15:22
- i have 175+ comp days, and 50+ vacation days built up. - tRuMaN Oct 13, 15:18 2
  - I don't understand what your dilemma is. -- nm - loosilu Oct 13, 15:19 1
    - there is no delimma. I am actually backing up the files I will need - tRuMaN Oct 13, 15:20
- and, like, november. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 13, 15:15 1
  - uh-huh. -- nm - the liioulu with parts Oct 13, 15:16
