Why do they make me feel like this????

I was off work yesterday because I had a tooth out last week which got infected and turned into a swollen abscess. It hurt like crazy so I was back at the dentist yesterday to get it sorted out.

Its gone down now and doesnt really hurt, but I thought I would take today off as well just to relax and get rid of the last few twinges.

I had a genuine reason for not going to work, so why do I feel so guilty today???? I'm not what you would consider 'ill', I'm just getting over the pain. I know that everyone will be talking about me behind my back, having their sly digs and I should just think FUCK YOU ALL! But I dont... and I sit here watching the clock creep towards 9 and wonder if I should actually go to work? Why do I allow them to have this hold over me??? I cant help having dodgy gums!

Now I know I'm sick if I'm having thoughts like this.

Sometimes corporate culture tries to make you feel bad...part of the reason why they push the "team player" BS on everyone. If you have a good attendance record I don't see why co-workers should give you hell...if they do, fuck em.

Companies and organizations program their workers into thinking that their health is less important than the job by placing unfair and unfounded social sanctions on what they deem to be "bad for the company". In any case it shouldn't bother you that those people talk about you behind your back because it should be obvious that they aren't your friends. So, fuck 'em.

Tell them to kiss your ass

Don't feel like you owe your boss or the rest of those assholes every minute of every day. I used to work long hours into the evening, and weekends, neglecting my family and my health. Then I got sick and almost died. After that I said Fuck It. We are only on this earth for a limited amount of time, and I'll be damned if I am going to spend it as a time slave to a peice of shit that doesn't appriciate what I do in the first place. So no more night work, no more weekend work. 5:30 comes I'm gone. My asshole boss even told us we need to keep our cell phones with us 24/7 even on vacation. Fuck him. My work cell sets on the dresser turned off when I get home, and when I go out. Slave no more!!!!

Life's too short to put up with asshole bosses.

Long working hours
Submitted by allmessup on Sun, 09/23/2007 - 01:00.

That is exactly what I am doing right now. I work about 80 hours a week. I have to pull all nighters every fucking day. On top of that, I have to do 24/7 tech support. Holidays and weekends are meaningless to me. While everybody is relaxing, I am sitting in front of my computer doing fucking work. Every client wants their projects done the next day and my boss keep taking them. The fucked-up thing is that I don't get paid for all those after-hour work! I hate this fucking job! Is there anything that the Department of Labor can fuck the shit out of this company for me?
