Happy Mental Health Day!

FortyTwo

This is the first time I have effectively played hookey from work. I actually do have work-related motives for doing it, but hey I'm sitting here in bed talking to you guys - grading papers yes - but still.

In another hour or so the cool Baltimore December day will be mine.

WOoooooooooooooooo!

I get every Friday off but have to work 7:30-5:30 m-th

I am okay with this trade.

Maaaan I wish I could afford to take more mental health days than I do. Heck, I wish I could afford to take the ones I already do.

Monkeyfeet

I don't get to have mental health for a week and a half. But then I get a month of mental health. That is ok, I guess

Hey me too. I just hope I survive this week and a half. And pass my classes. Cause if I don't then it is game over man

I get sick days and vacation days but for the most part they work the same.

We don't have any official company holidays, but we get a total of 23 PTO days to be used however. So it's all good.

I call in sick whenever. they ask for me to bring in a doctor's note and I don't and they never say anything.

I was up all night coughing and am taking my second sick day in two weeks. I have no idea what the policy on sick days is; the employee handbook just says "stay home when sick." It's causing me anxiety because I need my vacation days!

Wren

I bet your boss is thinking of you with disdain right now. "man I can't trust that guy, what am I going to do with him"

Dance Commander

luckily my voice is cracking like a motherfucker, so my horrible affliction will be obvious when I call in.

you're allowed to have 3 finals on the same day?

we aren't allowed to have 3 within 2 days

Abracadaniel

My professor for my French II course sent out an email last week telling everyone that he was feeling ill and that last Thursday's class was cancelled, and that he'd send out an email over the weekend with a study guide for the final. On Sunday I check my email and he's apparently caught something so virulent that he's

a) not going to be in for the final

b) no longer teaching French


So I have no idea if we're supposed to show up and take the test via a proxy or at one of the testing centers or what. I sent him back an email asking what was what and hoping he'd recover soon, since he was a pretty awesome teacher.

Your roommate is good people.

Cold Salmon and Hatred

My finals are spread out in a way that I get at least 2 or 3 days of study time in between each so I should be able to handle finals well

Skull Man

yeah, we can request to have one moved to another day if we have 3 on one day

but I know the material and I'd rather just get them out of the way

Muggins

Skull Man you are a strong man.

I have been up since 4...I think I might go get a second cup of coffee.

Skull Man

the response from the professor to my draft of the 2000 word essay that's due on friday, that is pretty much our entire grade that I spent all of saturday working on

Here is your paper. See comments.

I have little to say. My comments are not substantial and could even be seen as nitpicking. Your paper is good.

hoooray

Seriously! I mean he was even talking about teaching French III for the 2010 Summer semester. He also taught at one of the local high schools, so I'm thinking this might be some kind of a power play with the dean for more money or something.

Man I have just below a 3.0 total for my entire degree.

I need pretty much at least a B+ in each class forever in order to get it by graduation. I think

Richard M. Nixon

somebody who was at our house over the weekend (and there were nearly 30 people there) puked in the sink, which is pretty gross

they were sober, which is also pretty gross (why would you go out if you felt sick enough to puke?)

they used a hand towel to clean it up (similarly gross)

cleaned it up badly (pineapple piece in the drain, puke on the front of the cabinet, it was like a boomer had gotten in)

then shoved the hand towel down behind the spare toilet paper i guess in the hopes that we wouldn't see it (my wife found it this morning and nearly threw up herself)

i guess s/he hoped that we wouldn't notice it? something?

What kinda namby pamby crap is that?

Cold Salmon and Hatred
