Should I go to work today?

[JohnKleeb]

I really dont want to. I should go but I dont feel like it. I likely will go but I dont feel 100% and I dont wanna go to work :(.

[JohnKleeb]

6. No its ok

I woke up and was being yelled at by just about everyone in the house including my 2 year old brother.

[GOPisEvil]

Go. Your boss will notice.

You might need a recommendation someday. Don't get the reputation for being a slacker. Suck it up!

I bagged groceries in all sorts of crappy weather. It sucked, but it had to be done. :D

[JohnKleeb]

5. Its not the weather

I just feel like crap.

[GOPisEvil]

11. I dunno...I understand not wanting to work when sick.

But, if you're able, I'd go. Especially since you just started.

Edit - dude, it's 3 hours. You can do that standing on your head.

[UrbScotty]

[HEyHEY]

8. jesus you just got the job!

don't be calling in sick just yet!
The trick to work is to find ways to make it fun and go in with a good attitude even if you have to force it.

Works suck... you gotta trick yourself into believing it doesn't or you'll become bitter...then start posting on FR

[THUNDER HANDS]

19. I still say STAY THE F HOME

We work too hard in this country. We should enjoy our days off and take as many of them as possible.

The French got this whole 30-hour work week thing down right.

Stay home, John. It's a beautiful Sunday.

[JohnKleeb]

21. But how do I convince my parents

[Booberdawg]

25. You don't. Go to work

[Booberdawg]

23. Get up off your young and sorry ass and go to work!

"I don't feel like it"
"I really dont want to."
"I dont wanna go to work :( "

Are not acceptable reasons to miss work.

You JUST got the job.

AND!
You JUST started talking about smoking some weed

Last night, huh?

Just an observation ......

[patdem]

26. Yeah...and if he wants to KEEP that up...he has to learn to do both

or one or the other....Get a paycheck then spend it on stuff that makes you not want to go back to work is not a good idea...sounds down right defeatist if you ask me!!!

[leftist_rebel1569]

24. GO TO WORK

I'll slap you if you don't...:P

[JohnKleeb]

30. bitchslap? sir yes sir

Oh btw guys I went. It was a slow night, and I was hummin the songs that were over the intercom, its interesting really, I was thinkin about love and shit, and I come on to DU and I see that LPFF had a thread on it. Work was all right, I got some fairly good tips, and I had a crazy incident with a slim jim like thing where my nose got weird.

27. Hey John.... a secret...

most adults I know... often have these moments... when waking up just start thinkging... I really don't feel well, maybe I should just stay home. So while lying in bed the conversation in the head goes on and on while hitting the snooze button on the alarm.

Then after a short bout of the "i don't wanna's"... we roll out of bed, jump in the shower and just force ourselves to do it. In the end, will power and self-discipline win. Nine times out of ten, one gets to work - breezes through - and the icky feeling goes away, or is not that noticeable. That one time out of ten is blechy feeling, but then folks at work realize (hard to hide) and calling in sick the next day ... no one even questions it. SOmetimes on that one out of ten times, one actually leaves work - but leaves after knowing one really gave it a good shot.

The thing is - we ALL have these conversations (the act of self-rationalizing). But the mettle of who we are is whether or not we do the self-indulgent (especially in the early days of a new job), or push ourselves on the self-discipline side. Rest assured, this is NOT the first time you are going to feel this way. Also rest assured, if you fall into the habit of giving in, you probably won't have this job very long.

28. GO TO WORK! *points at door*

Calling in ill this soon after getting the job is NOT a good idea, unless you really ARE ill...

[Nikia]

29. If you're new you have to go to work

They judge new people badly that call in. If you really do get sick soon and need to call in again, they might fire you. They did this to a girl at my fast food place when the economy was much better. Our temps that call in in the first couple weeks, at least not without a doctor's excuse saying they have something truly debiltating like pneumonia, are not asked back. I know that sounds unfair, but they don't want someone who they're going to have to wonder about showing up.

[JohnKleeb]

32. I went thanks guys

[Padraig18]

33. Good lad!

:toast:

[JohnKleeb]

34. Thanks

Had a fairly good night, tips were fair, no turkeys :D, and the music over the intercom was nice but it made me sad too because I realized how much I would like love sigh its all good though.
