What I miss most about college is being able to look outside on a gorgeous day like today and make an executive decision not to go to class at all. That doesn't work so well at the office.
Posted by sopharcules at March 11, 2004 10:13 AMYeah, they really frown upon skipping work. What's that all about? We should be allowed a few "I don't feel like working today" days.
Posted by: Christin at March 11, 2004 11:12 AMYeah. You can't even pull off a good "fake sick" day if every single one of your fellow employees live within a three block radius.
Posted by: Micah at March 11, 2004 01:49 PMAren't the "I don't feel like working" days called "personal" days? Sure, they may give them to you so you can go to funerals and such, but can they blame you for taking care of your psychological well-being? That's personal.
Posted by: Emily at March 12, 2004 01:40 PMYeah. No personal days here. (No sick days either, for that matter). Lunch breaks are considered gracious.
Posted by: Micah at March 12, 2004 01:56 PMAt my office, you practically have to bring your dead relative by the office to prove they're dead in order to get a personal day.
Posted by: Christin at March 13, 2004 10:44 AMI just take my paperwork outside on days like that.
