Even when it’s serious, it’s just a shitty situation. I know everybody has to take care of themselves and that’s why I try not to go to work when sick but most often that’s what I’d like to do.
Like I’m a socialist and all but I hate the situation of talking to my boss and telling them I can’t come in :(


I’m the only that can do several things where I work. This is neither my fault, as I have attempted to train so many people, nor is it my problem. If I’m sick I will not be there. If something comes up that requires my attention I will not be there. If I cop attitude and don’t feel like putting up with this place’ shit I will not be there. Maybe try hiring a second person who can tell their left from right.
Have you always thought this way? I always was 100% on leftist ideals but in my 20s it was easiest to just mostly give 100% at work. Now I am getting older and I feel like that’s no longer the case.
In nearly every job I have had I have ended up either way more in charge than I wanted to be or a lynchpin that holds more together than I am paid for, and always way too quickly. I don’t want to be there. I’m good at working, but I certainly don’t yearn for the mines and never have. Never give 100%, they’ll only want more.
