I can't say boo. Day after the federal election I had to call in. (Though I took a vacation day due to "self-inflicted wounds".) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 8, 07:39
Tell him he's 18, his hangovers aren't supposed to hurt yet. -- nm - Reagen Dec 8, 07:27 2
- ... well ...if you aren't hurting ... there's... no hangover -- nm - Mazujingle Bells Dec 8, 07:39
- this is an excellent point. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 8, 07:33
Men are whiners, when it comes to being sick - Mazujingle Bells Dec 8, 07:05 7
- If anything, I am the opposite - one of those in-denial-I'm-sick-power-on-through types -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 07:14 2
  - I think I know more men who fit t his description. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:15 1
    - i think this goes for both sexes actually. I guess I was thinking post-acknowledgement, post-"decided to stay in bed". -- nm - Mazujingle Bells Dec 8, 07:29
- Word. I've been whining all morning. :) -- nm - Jim Dec 8, 07:12 3
  - Men can be attention whores too ;o) -- nm - Mazujingle Bells Dec 8, 07:33 2
    - "can be"? ;P -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:37 1
      - *pulls out the pink spandex and the hair band wig, starts cursing in Arabic* -- nm - Mazujingle Bells Dec 8, 07:47
At least he was honest -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 8, 07:02 11
- How do we know it's true? Maybe it's an excuse for something even worse. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 07:49
- sort of true. but you can only ever do this *once.* -- nm - antiheros and superheroes love mandy lane Dec 8, 07:17
- Calling in hungover is only semi-acceptable on a Monday the day after the Superbowl. -- nm - Shaun Dec 8, 07:03 8
  - I suppose he should have been brighter and made something up -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 8, 07:04 6
    - He probably shouldn't be getitng bombed on Sunday nights when he has to work Monday, but whatever. -- nm - Shaun Dec 8, 07:09
    - yes, you really should lie about hangovers. he'll learn. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:05 4
      - Do you think it speaks more about his inability to be responsible or that revealing his heavy drinking habits are inappropriate? -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 8, 07:06 3
        
        I think it speaks to an 18 year old drinking too much and waking up feeling like shit. - Jim Dec 8, 07:11 1
        
        totally. stupid typical 18 year old behaviour. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 8, 07:35
        
        both. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:06
  - what about March 18? -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:03
Make note in his file. There are acceptable absences. Being hungover isn't one of them. -- nm - TWuG Dec 8, 06:56 1
- we don't really *have* files, but i think i will start a document in my computer. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 8, 06:59
did you tell him it's going on his permanent record? that tends to still work on 18 year olds. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 06:56
