On the Midwestern Work Ethic

[serinde]

I thought to myself, "I made it in yesterday." And I thought to myself, "Okay, admittedly, I was wobbly as hell and felt like I was going to fall down at a few points. And I could barely stay at the FCO outing, I was that tired. But I made it in. And I got stuff done." And I thought, "Sure, I feel a little wobblier this morning than I did when I got up yesterday, but I bet I could work the day through; I'm tough."

And I thought to myself, "I HAVE TWENTY SICK DAYS. This is what they are for. Stop being a Goddamn tool."

Stay home. Get better. Avoid infecting others. I'm also sure someone noticed you were wobbly yesterday.

You missed ladies'night. Why don't you quit your job, and get a job in the city so that you can drink with us? Wouldn't it be worth the 2 hour commute? We could ride the train together the way Stitchjock and I used to do. (Shed tear for me here.)

Someone did. The phrase "Should you be here?" was uttered.

I'm not surprised...our mutual friend here is the type to keep going when mere mortals have long since shut down!!!

I aten't infectious!! at least except maybe to someone if they practiced certain filthy sexual practices with me

Srsly, most norovirus infections are transmitted in more direct, personal fashion. Sneezing won't do it, but sharing a household potty could.
