lmao I did the same test but I got a positive flu result so I'm good to stay home either way

Figured I’d offer

 

[Comrade Khan]

wfh seen as worse than calling in sick is fucking wack lol

 

[Professor Booty]

It's kind of annoying bc yeah I get that I'm not working the way they want me to (in office) but I voluntarily chose to work from home while I have the flu instead of just taking PTO bc it's super busy rn, otherwise I would have just taken the PTO. And for PTO we don't need doctors notes or anything, it's no questions asked but bc in working, just not in office, I have to prove I'm not abusing that privilege and I'm actually dying

More reason to go job hunting

what's more annoying is it's not even like this is an official directive, MAYBE they might take issue with it, but my boss is just paranoid they will

 

[Chris]

He's become such a coward to his superiors

 

[Professor Booty]

He's become such a coward to his superiors

Which makes him lose his employees respect and his superiors respect so he’s now a worm to all

 

[Chris]

Also it's just being spread around the office too I'm finding out lmao people were sick last week that I didn't know and now the girl that sits beside me told me she was going to the doctor today and she describes the exact same symptoms I had. She was in denial she had the flu even after my results came back positive despite that lol

 

[Professor Booty]

People downplay the flu so much but that shit fucking sucks

 

[Professor Booty]

Well good news for me this latest test is negative

 

[Chris]

Yeah I don't think I've had it since I was like 5

 

[Professor Booty]

Yeah I don't think I've had it since I was like 5

Lucky fuck

 

[Professor Booty]

I get it once every one to two years but also my winters are a little more harsh than yours. What sucks for me is if I get a fever then I have “fever dreams” which means I’m hallucinating while trying to sleep or just laying there. It’s exhausting and sucks

 

[Chris]

I've had fever dreams before when I was younger but it's been awhile, I used to get a lot of like 1 day colds that my mom always thought I was lying about until she checked and I would actually have fever lol

 

[Chris]

I very rarely get sick anymore but this is twice this year already

Yeah it was way worse as a kid but it’s still not fun at all. It’s was shocked to learn that not everyone gets them
