Talk Me Out of Work Friday

It wouldn't take much for someone to talk me into taking a sick day on Friday. The weather's great. Anyone?

Take the day off. But first, speak to us of ethics. Speak to us of pride and professionalism. Are you not a teacher? What exactly do you tell your kids when they "take a sick day" in order to dick around at the mall?

SpRay Lord, he tells them "Hey, make sure you bring me something from GNC. I love that place."

Anyway, I was kidding earlier Overhung. I would take the day off and head down to the Red with you except that I have yet ANOTHER wedding to attend this weekend so I will be in Louisville Friday and Saturday.

I don't say anything to them, unless I see them at the mall. But then, I wouldn't see them would I? I transferred this year to a residential treatment facility (reform school). I have, you could say, a captive audience. They can't miss school, so I don't have to worry about it. On the other hand, I just watched a girl eat staples. That tends to get on the ol' nerves after a while. They give us sick days because we need them.

maybe she needed her stomach stapled, and couldn't afford the cost of today's high health care premiums...

I will be on my way to West Virginia to take my son white water rafting. Gauley River, here we come!!!!

I guess that sitting around watching students eat staples might be enough to justify a sick day. Depending, that is, on the size and quantity of the staples.

So you can go to laRouge and watch climbers eat carabiners

Let me explain the depth of the aformentioned strangeness. She wasn't just trying to swallow the staples, she was trying to chew the damned things. Tore her mouth all to crap, and now she has to have surgery to remove them from her esophagus and stomach. What the fuck? Huh? What? It was a crazy day with two of her peers, who are supposed to give each other moral support, falling to the ground and flailing/crying about in the middle of class in mortal agony for their fallen friend. When asked why they didn't stop her, they replied, "if she's stupid enough to do it, we just let her." So, what about Friday?
