Being a slacker

Posted on December 28th, 2007 in General, Personal Messages, Rants

I haven’t called in sick to work in a long time. A really long time. Yesterday was the first time in that long time. Today is the second.

I am not much for being sick. I am also not much for using being sick as an excuse to not work. If you are well enough to pick up a phone and call in then you could feasibly be well enough to due your duties and not have to spend the day your household sick at the same time. But I have to admit, this little bugger that is in my belly is making a wimp out of me.

I seriously do not feel like I can go to work. Not just the 45 minute drives each way. I mean the actual action of sitting at my desk and coding. I could easily work from home. But I do not feel that I can even pick up my computer (no, this post is being made from the future… at the actual time of this post, I was sicker than carp and sitting on the couch not even thinking of my computer). I quite literally feel like I can only sit here and be sick.

And that makes me feel like a slacker. Two days in a row of not going to work. Two days of no productivity when productivity should have been attained. This is unreal. I mean, how…. wait, I have to go to the bathroom.
