I’ve known this since I was 16. Got a text back my buddy who wants OT is covering for me afterall. Is it weird I feel insulted that they weren’t more concerned when in fact I was actually lying from the get-go?

The thing is needing some headspace is so real for me. Personal day mental health day. As a teacher I got 9 a year no questions asked no notice needed as long as I had an emergency sub folder good to go.

I’m still happier now. You may think I’m just telling myself that but it’s also evidenced by not sitting around with the barrel of a loaded revolver in my mouth and goddamnit that’s a reliable dipstick.

No. They do not care. You have to make it sound like you'll be too sick to actually do your job. And also put your foot down and just refuse to come to work. None of this works if you're willing to cave.

They care here at least a little bit... were you not required to get a food safety certification?

lol no

Terrifying

I mean it's not like I'd be doing anything differently if I had.

This is why I cook for myself

And because you're a woman.

I bet I can build a better campfire than you male

I bet I can pee farther.
