When it comes time for the conversation, and if it’s a paid sick day; remember that it’s part of your compensation package and you’re entitled to use it. Would you feel guilty about cashing your paycheck?
Don’t apologize for being sick and needing a day; take the mindset that they should be glad it’s just a day because let’s face it, no one gets back to 100% after one day.
Be human, man. Be kind to yourself.
I think telekinesis is the way to go.
Soft to start, but I reckon he’ll get harder the more vigorously I shake him. Who knows though, he may just jiggle around semi-limp like a just-came-2min-ago dick
Don’t forget Trump, I’d be using all three remaining arms to shake him vigorously during the handshake. Diplomatically, of course.
By being overqualified for handshakes and using that as a power move to establish dominance via awkwardness
Just another Tuesday day ending in “day”
FTFY
This brand of positivity you’re embodying is the most infectious one, and if I can feel it in your writing I imagine hearing it spoken from you would be some next level inspiration.
I’ve lost some people close to me over the years and what saddens me most is how I’ve forgotten so much about them beyond what they looked like. All of them except one…Gordon left behind audio recordings as his last messages to each of us in the group of friends.
Every time I hear his voice, it brings back so much about him that just can’t be said. His cadence, intonation, and overall manner of speaking have helped keep an entire person in my memory.
I wonder if that’s an option for you. I can say from experience that the lasting impact of audio is…powerful. Being able to actually hear my friend…i can imagine him speaking to me, and it’s in his voice because his voice is not forgotten.
Your family hearing your thoughts, in your voice…and being able to hear you speak long after your time…man, I can’t think of a better way to highlight your true personality and make it a lasting one.
“LinkOpensChest_wave…you magnificent bastard…”
This has got to be where the idea for transparent wood came from…
What you’re holding there is Prototype-0
I’d love to be cautiously optimistic, but the sources on this are “sources with knowledge of diplomatic discussions between the two allies”
Nothing official, or even semi-official. I genuinely wonder if this even happened or if it’s a bit of manufactured consent
I call bullshit. Israel won’t end the war and US financial support is certainly not going to dry up. Bunch of hearsay to stoke a bit of “we’re trying to do the right thing”…
Find out when that record resets. If they’ve created a system where talent is penalized for living on this planet of bacteria, viruses, and the grossest of all, people…then the system should be exploited to its full potential.
Find out how many days in a row count as one sick day, often times employers will only count multiple consecutive sick days days as one occurence.
With those two pieces in hand; if you’re going to be taking a sick day, take the full amount allowed under one occurence, and do that to the maximum allowed until reset.
This write up in your record is nothing more than intimidation being used to “align” your behavior with that of the business, and it’s obscenely disgusting.
If you’re in the UK, then you’re probably well into your work day. I hope this message finds you in better spirits, with the awkward conversation behind you.
