It is quite possible you have done it, use your sick days to not have to deal with work?
Just look at your schedule, you hate your job and it feels like you have to cram everything in your life around unrealistic schedules. There is not a single doctor's office that is open when you are not working, hair coloring you can usually forget trying to get done on the weekends (unless you know about a certain salon called Rockstar) and the dentist will have to be miserably placed at the beginning of your work day.
It kind of sucks actually planning your life around an 8 to 5. I mean who really needs a driver's licence any way? Hmmmm? The DMV can suck it.
So the working world made sick days, which are great unless you are being called in, called from the office, or actually get sick. It is not like sick days are very practical for actually getting sick, who can determine that they will get only the flu and only have one sickness? And I should add that most people come in when they are sick anyway, making the rest of us sick and taking more time away from us. Nothing pisses me off more than a boss coming in sick! Asshole, go home, I want my sick days for ditching work!
Really, determining how to be sick is more of the option, like "I have a job interview, sick day please?" makes more sense to me.
Then it dawns on me why not give salaried employees no sick days, and let them just do their work and make up the hours where they can. Most employees will work from home where they can. I know I do.
on one of my sick days, at my other aweful job, the hubs told me there was some medicine in my car. I ran out to get it as my HR person was driving by. Yup, he was spying on me. If some one takes a sick day, leave them the eff alone... and besides isn't there real work that needs to be done?
