There is good snow, and there is bad snow. Bad snow is when it snows, then it rains, then you have to get from a bar in the middle of town to your university hall of residence on the outskirts by climbing a very steep hill after several gin-and-tonics where you halfway forgot the 'tonic' bit.
Guess who just had an encounter with bad snow? Go on, take a wild stab.
Michael Jackson? The Grinch? Ed? Michael Phelps? No? ....I'm all out of ideas. Damn.
Rant: If you're sick, that's pretty bad. I sympathise. If you're really pretty sick, but you decide to tough it out and come to work? Good for you, too bad our employer doesn't really care, but kudos. If you're too sick to actually
do the damn work, showing up means there won't be a replacement, and that means I have to do
your work as well. We're
already heavily understaffed with only 2 operators at peak times. You spending 30% of your time in the bathroom, 30% of your time coughing and sneezing so hard you can't pick up a phone and interrupt my calls, 30% of your time whining about how much it hurts and how bad it is?
Doesn't help. Either you're seriously sick, so
stay at home and get better, or you man up and come to work and, you know,
work. Ass.
Secondly: if you have the flue, and a vowel infection and all those other nice things that accompany that sort of thing, I'm sorry for you, I truly am. However, we're together in a relatively small, "air-conditioned" room. If you have to sneeze, use a flippin'
handkerchief. If you're coughing, put your hand in front of your mouth. If you're
hacking up green gooballs, you should probably not even be working, but if so,
don't just hack them on the frickin' keyboard I'll be using later on too. Seriously, how hard is it? Keep your germs to yourself. Try to be at least marginally hygienic. Filthy bastard.
