I Called In Sick Today


Recommended Posts

there's nothing going on in my life so I won't be posting about anything.

 

 

edit: that's not completely true. I did just eat some pork that I'm pretty sure wasn't good anymore, so there may be something going on in my life here in an hour or two.

and after 3 days, he is risen!

If you are paying $20 for a haircut, I imagine people assume you did it yourself anyway.

Pocket change cost me my first and only black girlfriend.   It was in the middle of a roaring poker boom and I was flush in ways most men don't even bother dreaming of. Money, it was like dirt to me

Strat being strat with epic randomness.

 

Shake, that never stopped you before.

ron, hows the lazy day going?

 

Well Suited, I'll tell you. After a run to the store for supplies, we had lunch, watched a couple of shows, retired to the bedroom, she watched 2 episodes of Dexter while I snored like a beast apparently. Not normally a snorer. Got up, I made a meat sauce from scratch. Boiled some angel hair, had dinner while watching 2 eps of Boardwalk Empire. Pooping now and will check put Yankees score.

 

as far as I know, I'm still golden, but this is not a week in which she would be thinking clearly, so I'm letting the idea simmer.

 

She's on her period?

sounds like a good day, ronny. you watching HOMELAND? i just started and it's pretty entertaining. i recommend you get on this train with me and we can ride and ride.

 

Yeah, I watched the first season as it aired. Loved it. Have the 2 eps recorded. Will watch that next. I did watch Castle tonight. I do love that show.

The Mrs has puppy fever but with a 12 year old dog already in the house on her last legs, we think an energetic puppy might drive her to the grave. She wasn't one to play well with others before. Puppies are great but if I get stuck with a yappy or annoying dog, I'll be one unhappy selfish douche.

 

 

 

Shes actually eight and overweight.... so yeah thats close

 

 

 

Told the vet yesterday that the last time I woke up to that much whining, crying, and screaming was two years ago the morning after new years...

 

 

 

Still have no recollection of sitting down on the toilet or who force fed me all that hot damn liquor

 

 

 

 

In other news.... got up this morning to witness some fool jumping from space and breaking the speed of sound. Fixed me up a fine breakfast of leftover burrito, chili, and fritos.... fired up the puter to a damn weather delay

 

 

 

Speaking of puters....ole Randy has been absent quite a bit here of late. My best guess is hes going through a nasty divorce due to the whole MIL hip break/Deb hiring a homeless lawyer instead of his son thing. Either that or he stubbed all ten toes during a run and is now wheelchair bound or something. I knew those glove shoes were a bad idea. Hope all is well in any case

 

 

 

Ill be belching up thrice reheated chili and watching for a guy burning up on re-entry if anyone needs me...

Got my personality assessment results back. It seems to be accurate, but I could have just told them everything without having to answer 300 questions. "Likes working alone; prone to self-consciousness/embarrassment/reduced self-confidence; impatient; will procrastinate given the chance; bores easily; feelings of inadequacy; too self-critical; tends to worry; feelings of hopelessness; problems with self-discipline; indecision.

 

Those are just some of the highlights of the negatives. There were some positives, obviously, but none worth mentioning.

I never knew you to be prone to self-discipline prolbems. Quite the opposite actually.

I wonder how close the thread could have come to those results had DJ set up some sort of poll? Sounds like a missed opportunity for 4 or 5 pages of filler.

 

So, is today your last day or are they going to let you finish out the week? Expect security to escort you out of the building.

 

I'm just teasing Napa. It is interesting, and consistent with your posted results, that you didn't post any of the positive attributes though.

 

How many times have I told you that you needed to be more confident?

I fully expect somebody to drop by with a box later on today to pack my things, but all my "things" is a coffee mug I've never used and a shitty pair of headphones I keep around.

Spend the day wandering around checking other peoples' desks for "things" then.

did you answer the questions honestly? i would have purposefully filled it out to avoid them knowing what i'm really like. and what do they plan to do with these results? as your attorney i'd like to get a jump start on the IIED and wrongful termination suit. but really though, what the **** can this tell them that a review of your work can't? either you do your work and you do it well or you don't, who gives a shit if you'd rather avoid working with some idiot or if you're harder on yourself than you should be. goddamn this is some queer shit.

 

now i'm mad and my day is ruined.

Don't let it get you down Essay. You're trying to interject common sense and logic into an HR situation. Those things never go together.

I'm sorry. I tried for the most part to answer them how I thought they wanted answered, but I could have been less truthful, I guess. I'm sorry.

 

I really don't think it will affect me negatively though. The main takeaway is that I am definitely suited to do the job I am in and that management doesn't need to BS with me, just tell me what to do, leave me alone and it will be done with high quality and in short order. It also mentions that I would be really good in a management role eventually. Mainly, if you look at the big picture of my report my negatives really aren't negatives in the "i work to hard and care to much about my work" vein. Hopefully that makes you feel not upset now.

i mean some ****in ******* douchebag **** sucker is gonna look at these results and say what about my man nappy? huh? that he can't do his job, that he isn't management material? **** that noise. his work will tell you that and i guarantee he does good work, i stamp that shit with my seal of approval. the man will do his job and do it well. we used to make shit in this country, build shit. now we just take bullshit personality tests and marginalize a damn fine american.

 

edit: well i'm not so upset, but i was really feeling it there for a minute. and don't apologize to me brother. we're on the same team here. team awesome.

there you go again, giving a **** when aint your turn to give a ****.

 

i mean if you don't think it matters for your job then it aint nothing but a thang. and i'm glad you came out as potential management material. thats important. i was afraid that this would hurt you in that regard. glad i was wrong.

Nah, I was just trying to give some fodder for this place to laugh at. Plus, if I'm still here in a year I'll kill myself, so it's a non-issue.

 

Thanks for caring though. Good to know some people around here give a crap, unlike that jerk Shake.

don't you hate it when you have to take a shit with only ten minutes left in class? if you get up and go right now the class will most likely be over when i get back and my stuff will still be there, unprotected. i can't have that. but holding it in can be problematic, as i'm very uncomfortable right now. damn this life of mine.

 

then when i get out i can go here at school or wait another ten minutes until i get home. i'd much rather go at home. ****.

sorry guys but currently I'm too busy hating my current job, searching out new jobs at other companies, and realizing that ten years into my career I am still not qualified for entry level positions.

 

 

oh well, at least I have a gi... well, at least my hous... I'll be dead some day. yep.
