That is asinine. As was my last supervisor, who raised an eyebrow if you called in sick on a Monday or a Friday.

THOSE ARE 40 PERCENT OF THE DAYS

I think the sick-near-holiday policy is pretty common for hourly workers.

That "40 percent" thing reminds me of how I chuckle wistfully to thineself when someone mentions "NEARLY HALF OF ALL TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS OCCUR ON FRIDAYS, SATURDAYS, AND SUNDAYS">

Ughh... what makes it particularly frustrating is that I could just as easily do my job from home as I can from the office. But, "that's not fair to people whose positions require that they show up each day".

Wait I thought you worked somewhere cool

51 percent of all turns are right.

My doctor is crosseyed. It's really uncomfortable.

Had a migraine last night and am enduring another one now. Please preserve this post for the inquest.

I love buying new stuff almost as much as I like getting rid of old stuff.

my moms job is the same way. if you want to get paid for the holiday you have to work the day before and the day after. so if the holiday is a friday, you have to work the saturday afterwards. its complete bullshit

how much does it cost to go back in time and talk to your early self

I think PhilliesPhans is still charging $10 for an account

I want to work at a bar exactly one night a week

I used to enjoy bumping four year old threads that were a thousand pages long and making reference to something on page 613.

Over there, I learned Charlie lost 60 pounds on Nutrisystem. Was that posted here?

There is a picture of a slimmed down Chuck in a thread on the main page.

In recent philliesphans developments, the joboggi thing I posted last night, and subsequent snark from allentown and julio getting after the boggster truly amused me.

I almost just sent this James Castle book to the bindery mislabelled as Frank Castle.
