Ever notice how life is all about playing games with people? There’s the Shut up and Smile game, the Suck Up to People in Power game, etc.
I hate them all.
Yesterday I had to sign a letter of expecation at work (I got written up) because I have called in sick nine times in six months. Call me crazy but I don’t think that’s excessive. If I’m sick, I’m sick. It’s not my fault diseased people cough on me all day. Airports are a germ lovers paradise.
So now if I get sick in the next six months I need to provide a doctor’s note. It’s not like I am paid on my sick days. So now I’ll just pull myself into work and die as I attempt to work.
What frustrates me the most is that I just had to sit there and smile and pretend I agreed with it. I had to play a game.
