Argh, I'm back at worb

I still feel lousy, but I'm here. Maybe I'll go hobe at lunch time.

My boss told me to go see our nurse*, but I can't stand our nurse because she is so biased. If you're a friend of hers she will write you a note to send you home, but if you're not, she'll say, well since you made it in, I don't think you need to go home. B*tch.

I'm not a friend of hers, so I don't even want to bother seeing her.

*Yes, Ms Mushrooms, we have a company nurse. I know our "benefits" amaze you. Did I mention our Book Fair is next month?

If you can't get a note from the nurse,
Then just go into her office and steal her purse,
I'm sure its stocked with lots of pills,
That'll cure you of your ailments and ills.
Wash them down with a glass of booze,
So that you'll fall into a pleasant snooze,
Then you'll wake up, feeling quite well,
And on Monday, you can tell her to go to hell.
And that next time, if she doesn't send you home,
You'll rake her face with Kookie's comb.

JAW fan

(not my best work...but, you know what...I'm in a bad mood and it rhymes, so live with it!)

JAW, that was awesome.

Nanuk - slip the nurse her own drugs so she won't be in...but then who would she get a note from?

why do you need to see an inhouse doctor/nurse if you're off for a few days? Our policy is you need a note if you're sick over 5 days...

lesson learned - next time stay home in the first place!

In the meantime, a teaspoon of sugar makes the medicine go down...

N. =)

I don't need a note. It's just that if I have a note, it saves a 1/2 day of "uncertified" sick days, of which we get only 7 per year. So my boss is trying (nicely) to save me a half day from my store of uncertified days.

Screw it, though. I'm taking it as a vacation half day. I've stored up a lot of those. whatever.

ONLY 7 uncertified days? We get 5 at my work, which I happen to think is quite generous. And a nurse?? We don't have one of those. Really good work benefits or a building full of hypochondriacs?

Both, I think. And the fact that the demographic of staff here skews, um, old.

I guess I should mention that we have a GP who comes in twice a month, and a cardiologist who comes in once a month, and since last year an internal medicine guy who also comes in once a month. And in case you are wondering, no, this is not standard for employers around here.
