| Originally posted by Halcyon+On+On Ah, well if it's only a temporary thing, then that's different. But like I said, don't sell yourself short! There's innumerable opportunities out there in the workplace for people who are actually capable of learning new things, as long as you are not afraid. And I don't have a cubicle - I'm a concierge. I deal in fertile creature comforts and all that. :P |

For example i'm in boxer-briefs currently, drinking coffee and intend to stay this way until approximately 10:00, at which point i will go downstairs and battle the mighty dungeon gladiators in Suikoden V. I'd probably, say, in a given week, I probably do about 5 hours of real, actual work. Whyyyy meeeeee Goooodddddddd, whyyyyyyyyyy????? |

-- even when it's your bday.
rule of thumb - if I'm gonna miss a day, whatever the reason, no matter how legitimate, I will tell them I was sick. Being honest has always gotten me into shit. When you're sick, they won't argue because they don't want you contaminating the rest of the staff.
I left school at 15, nobody wants to employ me. They'd rather get some hungarian, asian or polish kid in on half the money who doesn't know what their rights are (eg minimum wage etc)
So good job I plan to get back into education & make something of myself. Maybe not much of a thing, but still, something
I'm late a lot more than I'd like to be...but traffic changes DAILY in this fucking city lol. Sometimes it takes me 20 mins to get to work sometimes over an hour. It's a little ridiculous. If I'm going to be late I just call in and tell them. They all live in LA they know what it's like 
As for being sick, I don't get sick too often (unless it's something like a little cough) in which case I just keep to myself and wipe down the machines and phones I use with wipes to kill the germs.
Come to think of it, I don't think I've been sick enough to miss work in a bit over a year or so. I think it's the fear that I'm pretty replaceable that keeps me healthy
we have pretty strict policy.. they expect a phone call 4 hours before your shift... they call you if you call in sick to see why you didnt come in. but most of the time its too god damn hectic in my department for managers to even give a shit.. they normaly let it slide... unless its a slow day

| Originally posted by UWM I can show up anywhere between 8 and 10 as long as I finish what I need to get done on a given day unless I have meetings or procedures planned at a specific time. As far as not showing up, my PI is very flexible, sometimes even allowing me to take 1/2 days and not counting it against my sick days or vacation days. Oh and I get 25 vacation days and 25 sick days a year, plus 12 paid holidays, not too bad! |
i take days off whenever I please, as long as i don't abuse their leniency.
The hoes wait on me, I dont wait on no hoes.
I no longer have specific hours where I am expected to be present. There are meetings or tests which require my presence, but since I am involved in scheduling them, it's easy enough to make sure it is when I will be there. I can do much of my work from home, so if I am sick I simply stay home and work from there.
man some of you are lucky
if im gone one day i expect a huge mess waiting for me the day i get back because apparently they think its a good idea to show 1 person how to do an entire role and not have anyone cross train into it. i've seen/heard some of my co-workers try and do the shit i do and they are just lost. even my supervisor doesn't know how to.

| Originally posted by Zewad haha... that was definitely the truth... i left work to go to the doctor one day b/c i had a 102 fever, this was only after telling my boss at 530am in person that i was sick... i had to tell him face to face and then it was his call to let me to go the doctor at 7am... the Army doctor put me on 24hr quarters, but not before my boss made me MC a ceremony before 100 people and 3 Colonels... i felt special to get the rest of the afternoon off...(technically i was allowed to leave, but in my boss's eyes since i was there i might as well take one for the team and stay a bit) broken colarbone and broken foot was just a 30min leave to get the doctor to write me a profile explaning why I wasn't allowed to do PT (physical training) as if each cast wasn't enough... but yeah like Will said... 30 days paid vacation a year and whenever there is a federal holiday the military goes ahead and makes it a 4-day... so i guess that means like 40+ paid non-hoiday days off a year and there are also Passes which are days off that your boss allows that wont count against your given 30 days off... and i was able to use 10 of those this year... and those 30 days of regular leave do rollover.. both this year and last i took 60+ paid days off..(my days ON though this year though were 5am-7pm mon-fri and 5am-2pm sat, excluding the nights we had to sleep out in the field) but that was then... pre-out of Army status... with scheduled raises/promotions regardless of performance (pratically unless somebody died), free full health care, and extra pay for living expenses and rent,... 80% of the military get even extra pay each year for uniforms and for having kids/dependents... I know i rambled on about military perks... all of it wasn't worth it... I'd rather go back to Iraq than be in the Army state-side... |
If I say one word.. can you all guess my late/absent policy??
...
JEWS!
they're pretty cool at the workplace for me. i just started work, and we put together a plan to have our daily meetings at 8:30am. if we are late for a meeting, the person who comes the latest has to buy everyone breakfast.

| Originally posted by VAR i hear You, and Will. i remember that- if your sick- you go to sick call, otherwise get to work. all those extra days off are great if you are in CONUS, but if you are TDY (out of country on mission) 300 days in one year, it's "make it happen". |

| Originally posted by Ygrene Lol I keep forgetting that you are in NYC. EDIT: p.s. - I drive by the Jones Beach exit today, on the Belt Pkwy maybe? I can't remember which road I was on! |
I had to go to Expo Design Center in Westbury. SOOOOO happy that I was done at 2pm and got back across the Verrazano before traffic. I swear I have spent 2/3rds of the past 6 months sitting in line to get across that bridge....or the GW too. lol
tbh though, I love coming across the Verra early in the morning; driving down by the water and seeing all the people out running, biking, walking dogs is kinda relaxing lol. Takes your mind off all the crazy drivers!
