| Yes, I can relate. I hate having to work, if i had my iideal I would just be a full-time student for the rest of my life and never work again. Unfortunately,I am not independently wealthy, so work is a necessity of life. I found through many failed attempts at "normal" jobs that I CAN NOT ... |

| I don't know if I am being irrational here. This might be long... We have a roommate, he doesn't live with s 24/7, he's only here on weekends because he also had his own apartment somewhere else. He comes over on weekends because we live in an adult community and our house is next door to most of th... |

| I spoke to the department head yesterday, my bosses boss, she told me that the supervisor shouldn't have done that and that I DO NOT need a note for one day sick. The policy was made for people who make a habit of calling in on a regular basis or call in morethen one day in a week. She the apologize... |

| This policy doesn't even make sense. Who spends the money to go to a doctor for a short term illness? Suppose you have a stomach bug...You are throwing up every where... now you should get in your car, somehow drive to the doctor without yakking in the car, pay the copay or fee.... for a note? That... |

| That sucks that people have to abuse the call in sick policy that places would have to require a doctor's note. Not everyone can afford to see a doctor because not everyone has health insurance so that would mean they would have to go into work sick and hope to be sent home after their boss sees ho... |

| Is there any way you could get a doctor's note? Do you live in a city with easy access to "urgent care?" yes, I will be going to the doctor for a note. That's not the problem. The problem is more to do with the very mixed messages that I'm getting from the management at my work. One person say I do... |

| I've been very stressed at work for the past 2 months, finally today I called in "sick" wanting to just relax and take a personal day. I've had this job for over 4 years and every now and then have called in "sick" for a personal day, it's never been a problem before. A while ago another employee de... |

| When I get really stressed I've notice that I have a need to sleep or nap (well those are the best words I have to describe it). The thing is that it's not really sleep, I can wake up and still be physically tired and in need of rest, but my brain functions better. These "naps" can last for 10 minut... |

It's generally considered rude in most situations to touch someone without permission. Back to the topic though, generally I don't mind most touch or hugging from peop... |

| Is pretending to be normal a default reaction when around other people? For me it's a default reaction, yeah, but it's still something I have to think about and concentrate on. It takes a lot of effort. It has never been something where I can just go on autopilot and do it without thinking. It's ha... |
