Joe's out with the strep that Eli had.

8782 is out with what jdev has, which is what Ed had, which may or may not be what Brian had...

If people could just BLOODY WELL STAY HOME when sick without having to hoard their sick days against the fear of future need, this office would not be a ghost town today.

Ahem. Going into this past Monday, I had no remaining days of time off, of any description. Tuesday, mercifully, was the 8th of March.

Now, the other reason I came in earlier this week is that I wasn't feeling all that bad on those days.

Thass what I mean. You shouldn't have to stress about Oh God I'm Out Of Sick Time when you're sick.

(What you don't know is that we actually used to have a use-it-as-needed policy, except that A Certain Party Who Shall Remain Nameless abused the hell out of it so /a made up the vacation/sick time/personal days policy you see before you today.)

Also, I think anyone who moves to NYC should get an extra 2 weeks of sick time for their first 18 months. Because our germs can beat up your germs, and that's not even counting the soot and congestion and stuff.

and that's not even counting the soot and congestion and stuff.

And the pollen, despite the near-absence of obvious trees or grass.
