My First Sickly Day

I have a complaint to make. OK, I know I complain a lot, but this complain is valid.

This is something I've seen since I was a kid and its disgusting, wrong and completely irresponsible of people to do this. You would think that there would be laws that would outlaw this kind of behaviour. Guess again! There are no laws, no rules, no compromises. If there were it would just make too much sense.

I've been sick for the last 5 friggin days. Do you realise how I spent my awesome weekend? No, I wasn't out getting nookie from an HCHHSSTT, I wasn't getting a free BBQ meal (Nothing beats BBQ) and I sure as hell wasn't getting drunk. Instead I was at home asleep because I was and still am suffering from this godawful cold that refuses to leave my system.

Now, yes most people would say "Colds happen... can't be helped". Well let me tell you: Colds do not just happen! You get them from people, specifically from colleagues that refuse to stay home when sick. You remember back in High School when you'd always have that one sick person coming to school because their parents didn't want them to finish second in class. (Wait now that I think about it that makes more sense, the parents probably sent the kid to get everybody else sick, that would be the only way he could finish top of his class). A couple of months ago, everybody at work got conjunctivitis because one person showed up to work as they didn't want to take the day off!

My point is, sick leave is there to be used! Use it dammit! I know you'd rather leave it for a day when you actually aren't sick, but fact is your diseases are spreading and now you've gone and antagonized me by making me really sick.

I believe I'm going to start a movement where anybody that comes to work or school sick will be hanged! Who all are with me? I know you are with me!! Come on now?!?
