Thanks to the people who answered my question about the alcoholism. I will find someone to talk to about this (not sure if HR or someone else I have in mind).
The two supervisors were standing behind me going on about their retirement plans and one mentions how his son's moving in with him again because he can't find a job, etc
And the other supervisor just says "AND YOU'RE STILL VOTING FOR OBAMA?!?" And begins to lecture him on how Romney will change everything
At work today, I had a guy get pissed off at me, because I had to take his bottled water. I said, "Sorry, I didn't make the rules. Obama did. Vote Romney."
But it would be a huge hassle to get a doctors note and it should be an easy day
Fffffffffffffffff
Why would you have to get a doctor's note? That's ridiculous.
Lots of places require doctors notes, it is actually fairly common?
It's written in my HR paperwork that a doctor's note is required, but luckily my supervisor says that we don't actually do that in our department. It would just be a pain in the butt.
Unless I had the on-the-toilet-I-cannot-stand-for-fear-my-bowels-will-explode shits I would still finish my shift.
I mean yeah the guy may feel bad but goddammit this is the one weekday that I get to see my wife when she's awake and not already asleep
Man last year at work I went out to lunch, then about 2 hours later I got the "I cannot stand" symptoms. Good god that was the worst 8 hours of my life. I have a 45 minute commute. Those were some of the longest 45 minutes I've ever had. I thought for sure I would destroy the interior of my truck. Then about 10 oclock at night it cleared right up.
It had been years since I had went home sick from work. Ughhh. Stopped eating at that place. We actually discussed what could be the worst thing to happen at work, and "shitting your pants" came up at the top. If you vomit, ok you might be made fun of for a week or two, whatever, but goddamn we're not sure if someone would be able to live down shitting themselves at work. We are all pretty cool so it wouldn't be too bad where I work now, just some jokes for a couple weeks, but at some places, might as well not come back if that's what happened to you.
you never live down shitting your pants
at some point you just have to make it into one of those humorous stories that are equal parts sad, heruculean effort to not shit yourself, and humorous
naturally, you must conclude "shit happens" and shrug your shoulders
or at least that's how i've handled it
note: i haven't shit myself at work, thank god, but there's been other places
Or other stories of this variety, which people never let you live down, if you are foolish enough to post them here.
yep.
Pretty sure I've told a few on here, but I'm not concerned about it.
Wasn't my fault, there was a breach in the reactor

Wow, a doctor's note for ONE DAY? Never heard of that. Only for two or three consecutive have I seen. If you've just got a cold/bug, going to the doctor is just an extra expenditure anyway...

Not at work, but I have woken up after a good night, gone to fart, and immediately shit myself. Instead of the toot of victory there was just the squelch of despair. Cleaned myself up, and went to work with radioactive materials. Was a good day.
Related note, just submitted my first grad-school app. Wooo!
was it an essay titled "Avoid AIDS, seriously."
Still one of the greatest quotes to come out of a gathering.
"By the way: Avoid AIDS, seriously. That shits not getting cured for awhile."

probably not the best idea to be "funny" with people already stressed about being in a security checkpoint.
Hate fucking up at work and inconveniencing other people. I feel awful.
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!
Use this mistake to make your pitch for getting a coffee maker like any sort of first world facility
We were actually talking about getting a secret coffee maker and not telling anyone else.
Part of the reason that we haven't done so yet is because we don't want to have to clean up after other people. And that would totally happen if we put one in the office.
But if we have a secret coffee maker then we can drink all of the coffee and snicker at everyone else that doesn't have any.
What if you had a mug that allowed you to make delicious coffee right in it?

Are you taking product ideas zip? I want a mug with an led readout showing the temperature of liquids in it at the push of a button. And also have the led output be linked to my phone so it can scroll through texts and tweets like a newsfeed

i want a coffee machine that livetweets when someone has poured out the last cup and hasn't put in a new brew
Haha , yeah, have a tiny camera that takes a pic of the asshole who takes the last cup without refilling it, and automatically blings out the pic
Actually, a mug that tracks user behavior would be cool too. Like it tracks how many sips you take and the time it takes to drink a cup. Big Brother Mug
God, you guys, stop being ridiculous. Next thing you're gonna want is a Fleshlight attachment to a coffee mug that uses the heat from the hot coffee to warm it up
But it would be a huge hassle to get a doctors note and it should be an easy day

Yeah, either I have to take a personal day ( we only get 2 a year and I don't want to use one for actually being sick ) , bring in a note, or work an alternate schedule to make up the hours

Also on the subject of shutting your pants at work, there is a 35 year old vet that works at the plant. He's great at his job. Did 2 tours in Iraq. Been there for years. Well he had an accident one day.
I don't know his real name because everybody just calls him Poopy.

You only get two a year? That really sucks.
I think I basically earn one vacation day a month and I forget how many days of sick leave I have. I was pretty psyched about it when I found out. I'm trying to work some extra hours this week so I don't have to dip into my vacation time already.
It means I might be working four extra hours tomorrow. Yay...
I get just over 6 hours of PTO for every 80 hours I work, and we have mandatory holidays where, if I do have to work on that day, I get that as required PTO within 90 days.

she was hella apologetic about it
but i get to go back to sleep
when you work in manufacturing, not being there for a shift is big deal in comparison to most other jobs.
that line only runs because there are people there to keep it running. They don't take calling in sick lightly.

I think I got a reprieve but I still felt like shit about it
i love meetings
i love talking business
