So here I am wondering why I’m not taking some time to get over this dang cold that I have. Ok, not your normal everyday cold, as I’ve felt like crap for nearly 5 days now, with the fever, sore throat and just not feeling up to par. Ya know, the feeling like you really shouldn’t be at work, and you may make a mistake since your Brain and Body Aren’t Working to FULL CAPACITY. In most cases, when you’re feeling like that… Bed, Chicken Soup, and More Bed is the best medicine, and Plenty of It.

REASONS FOR NOT STAYING IN BED – AKA – STAYING HOME FROM WORK.

Why bother taking off (taking care of yourself – Whooda Thunkit), everyone else is catching the creeping crud too! Or… You won’t get paid because all you have is Paid Time Off (PTO), which doesn’t cover sick days. Oh, another one is… Staffing doesn’t allow for anyone to be sick. Or, Even Worse… It will be a strike against you, even if you’ve seen a physician and it’s legitimate. What The Hell!!!!!

This seems to be the woes of most employees of companies these days. Unless you work for a company that genuinely cares about your wellbeing. Unfortunately, those types of companies are too few these days. If you’re lucky, you may have management within a company that will stand up for you. That too is hard to find.

Whatever happened to the companies that cared about their employees? I’m thinking that was kicked to the curb when companies started considering employees, “Team Members”. Sounds great, but not really a true sense of the words.

Anyway…. I feel like shit! But ya know what? I’ll go to work tomorrow. The more I infect with this wretched cold… The more the merrier. LET’S HAVE A PARTY!!!!
