Group A Streptococci...

has anyone outr there ever seen strep? it's really pretty gross...



notice the white, mucusie pustules all over the place!!! yeesh. real disgusting...


and you should see the book i got this out of... it's my EMT book and there is tons of gross stuff in it...






wait...





hold on a sec...





EMT book...







oh yeah, that's right, i didn't get this particular one out of EMT Basic... nope...












i got it out of my own damn throat!

my mucus-filled, pustule-ridden, phlegm-dripping, pain-swollen, draft-dodging hippy-ass thoat!



and geez, the pain! gosh, i've never felt anything like this before! i can't even swallow! and when i do, you can tell, 'cuz i have to sit down first for fear of passing out due to the severe body pain surges it produces.

and here's the best part...

i called in sick from work yesterday at about 5 am (i couldn't sleep a wink because of the shear torment) and i got 'docked' 5 points! for those of you who are not familiar with the Home Despot point system, you get 10 points a year to 'burn,' and as soon as all ten are burned, you get canned.

since it wasn't 24 hours a head of time that i called in (think about that for a second... 24 hours? sorry i'm not a clairvoyant) and because it was a holiday weekend (Memorial Day) half of those points just flew out the window.

suffice it to say, for fear of the aforementioned canning, i went to work today, and worked the crappiest shift ever invented: 11-8. just an early enough start to not be able to do anything in the morning, and just a late enough end to do the same on the other side. yeah! thanks Home Despot! you are soooo understanding!














jackass.

That is the most gay thing that I have ever heard of. A point system, are we in kindergarden? Maybe they should skip the points and use gold stars. They wouldn't even accept a doctors note? They obviously don't know much about the human body.

Who on earth would know that they are going to get violently ill the day before it happens. I believe in MN it is illegal for them to do that to their employees. As long as you let them know before the shift, they can not take any action against you. Technically they cannot even ask you what was wrong with you. It makes playing hooky a whole lot easier. Maybe you should bring your bosses some doughnuts... that you coughed on!!!!
