Work Sick
Posted by Gerrit at 2007-11-19 12:17:00

Next time you're sick, drag yourself into school or the office.  It's a win-win-win-win-win-win scenario.  Consider the benefits:

  • Gain sympathy points
  • License to slack off
  • Make people think you're working on something more important than your health
  • Build reputation for unstoppable work ethic
  • When you're better, everybody else will be out sick with the bug you gave them
  • Free pass to call in sick and play hooky in the future, as everybody will assume you've come down with something even worse

The tactic fails, however, if you announce it to everybody else.  Like I just did.

Crap... I messed up at life again!

But Gerrit, you're like a mother pelican. You have sacrificed yourself for the greater good!
