This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If you're sick with something contagious, then I don't care who you are, you're a horrible excuse for a human being if you go to work.

One thing you always have to keep in mind is, that depending on where you work someone missing means that all your coworkers have to work more to compensate. One example would be if you work on a farm. The animals don't care if you're sick. They are hungry. Depending in the time of the year and how many people work there someone being home means that the rest has to compensate you which results in a lot of stress and possibly more mistakes. The work doesn't go away just because you go home. Sometimes stuff has to be done right now.

However, if you are allowed sickdays and don't work in an industry where someone missing means extra work for everyone, you're right.
