Ethics
I know that I'm supposed to be posting about the wedding but this is more current and up to date, so bear with me. I took today off as I was feeling very under the weather. Sore throat, headache, rumbling stomach, and extreme tiredness. I've been expecting this to happen ever since coming back from N.S. Why? Late nights, bad diets, not being responsible, and the like. Obviously this has all been self inflicted, and most of the symtoms all stem from simple exhaustion. So now I have an ethical dilemma in my mind. Is it all right to take off work because of irresponsibility? My only comfort is that when I don't work I don't get paid, so I'm not cheating my boss or anything like that. I'm simply not working a full forty hour week, right? Any thoughts, anyone?

Wow- two Jones boys under the weather at once...sounds suspicious. I think there's some sort of video-game party going on at one or the other of the two residences...Sick days are made to be TAKEN AND ENJOYED. Don't give it another moments' worry. It doesn't matter WHAT the cause of the illness: DON'T GO TO WORK FEELING LOUSY. That would be doubly lousy.
copycat...
I say your conscience shall be clear. Wouldn't it be cheating your boss more if you went into work feeling lousy and not being able to function with your full potential, and getting paid as your normally do?
Ooo, good one, Shay.
Hurray for being justified. I agree with Shay about the cheating the boss by working under par. And just in case there was any guilt it has now been expunged. I helped my cousin move today, after work. Three and a half hours of moving boxes up and down stairs plus lots of other things. I bet that's better than Hail Mary's.
Well, technically since you were working with me, that means it was all fun and no work, so I'm not sure you can count it as penance. Sorry to rain on your little catholic parade, hehehehe...
