Sick Days

[Yamaneko]

I never take off work because I know a lot of things depend on me being there and I feel responsible if I'm not. I'd have to be dying to miss work. School is another matter. That's entirely on me. and if I don't show up for class I can easily make it up.

I miss at least one day of school a week. I'll probably have about 40 absenses this year alone.

[Acid Raine]

Yeah. Ive taken 11 so far. And the limit is 10!!! :X

Well duh. The lab would be in shambles without the mad scientist.

If I don't feel like going to school one day, and I happen to be a little sick, I'll just exaggerate how ill I really am, and end up not going to school. I usually don't do that though.

I don't remember much before high school, but in 11th and 12th grade I never really got sick. I would sometimes stay home just because I didn't feel like going in. 11th grade I did it occasionally. 12th grade at the beginning I did it rarely because I wanted to see my girlfriend at school, but the second semester I did it fairly often.

These days I can't just call in to work and say I'm sick. If I want to take a sick day they send me to the aid station and if I'm not really sick I kinda get in trouble. It's not really worth it. In the past four years I haven't taken a single sick day at work.

Last time I didn't go to college was when my gran was in hospital.

Edit: Public schools around here are kind of like theundeadhero was saying. If you're sick there's this clinic that's backed by the ministry of health/ministry of education and if you miss a test or something you can't retake it unless you've got a note from that special clinic.

If they are sending you to a special clinic they sure as bleep better pay for it. The reason we go where we go is cause it is cheapest.... and we don't have the cash for more expensive areas.

In my school that wasn't neccesary. When your village only has about 1500 people and your school only 300 students(K-12) at the most, you kinda know a lot about each student. Teachers almost always knew when it was faked illness. However, they knew it was just natural for me to be sick about 2/3 of the year. They didn't bother me. Of course the college doesn't care for my illness.... at least they didn't question the day I missed due to the after effects of the rabies shots.... actually nobody bothered me about that. Not a bit.

I don't even need need to pay a deductable. I'm in the Army. The only days I get off work are leave days, which I get 30 a year.
