When do you consider yourself sick?

So this was just on my Facebook feed

When do you call in sick? Do you use all your sick days (use them or lose them)? Do you believe in "mental health days"?

I always used to hate getting sick cause I hated using my 10 paid sick days for laying around feeling like crap. Instead I liked using them when it was sunny out, I felt like sleeping in or I just didn't feel like sitting at my desk. My last job gave me 10 paid sick days every year and I never had one left over. Work was never the most important thing in my life (and it never will be). I've never let the guilt that management would try and push on me do anything other than give me a laugh and that will never change. Thoughts?


I love animals, food, beer, vacation, shopping and sunshine.

Oh Christmas tree

Christmas... My favorite time of the year (actually its 2nd after summer). I love everything about Christmas: the tree, food, family, lights, Christmas music, Christmas movies, Christmas parties and even Christmas shopping (I fucking love Christmas shopping, I go to the malls dec 20-23 on purpose). I love buying gifts for my family. I spoil them. I can't stop getting stuff for them.

This year is going to be different... No gifts will be bought - for anyone. And I don't want any bought for me (it actually hurts to write that). Instead I'm going to donate money to local charities in the name(s) of everyone I would normally buy for. And what do I want? I want you to save a life in my name. I really want dogs and cats pulled from death row in the shelters.

Please give money to rescue groups or the SPCA in my name.

Adopt an animal or foster one if you can.

Don't shop at any store that sells animals.

Don't buy from a breeder (back yard or "reputable").

Speak up against breed specific legislation.

Donate old blankets, sheets and towels to your local shelter. Old toys and food too.

Volunteer to walk to dogs or to play with the cats.

All I want for Christmas is a life (or 10) saved in my name.
