There is one thing that really burns my bridges when it comes to working at the office I am currently employed at. Every time I want to take a day off, every time I come in late, every time I get sick and go home, my fellow co-workers take it upon themselves to walk into my boss’ office and start their own little bitch and moan fest at how it seems like I am never working and never do anything.
So, what do I do? I come to work sick. I am sitting here, coughing, sneezing and blowing my nose at my desk, as loud as I possibly can. I want my nose blowing to reverberate all the way downstairs to our sister company and violently shake their walls.
Now one would probably ask me, why are you working if you’re sick? Well stupid, for the exact reasons I said above. What will end up happening is that tomorrow morning, my boss will come into my office and start saying how other people in the office see this, they see that, etc., etc., and somehow I have to feel bad because they don’t 1) make nearly as much as I do or 2) WORK nearly as much as I do.
So, its really a lose/lose situation. I stay here and continue to be sick, people bitch and moan about me. I call in/go home because I’m sick, people bitch and moan about me.
How about for just 2 seconds of your miserable lives you worry about your own bullshit and stop worrying about me? I’m sick, get the fuck over it. Because you all want to see me “work so hard” you’ll have to live with the fact that you might get sick. Deal with it.
