Things You Know Are A Bad Idea but Do Anyway

I worked an ER shift with a 104 fever once. To this day I don't remember a damn thing that happened on that shift. I hope I didn't kill anyone.

Our manager had a policy in place at the time where you couldn't call off (without losing your job) unless you found your own replacement. So 6 hrs before my shift on July 4th, I was delirious with an employee directory trying to find someone. My coworkers at the time were all bitches and no one wanted to work the holiday. Everyone refused, so I worked.

Like I said, hope I didn't kill anyone.

I read Tim Burton's The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Tales online. That was so messed up...

That kinda shit makes me mad. If you're too sick to work, then you're too damn sick to go around getting a replacement. My last job was like that, so everyone went to work sick and we all passed around our germs and all were even sicker. The bosses are basically saying that they don't believe you are sick, so you have to turn up to work and vomit over everyone to prove it.

When I was fifteen I actually had to work the register while I had salmonella poisoning. I kept having to retch up bile every eight minutes or so into a little plastic rubbish bin my oh so considerate boss gave me for that purpose. Thankfully it wasn't a very busy day and I only had to puke while I was ringing up one customer. He gave me this "" look and didn't say anything. I think I'm someone's gross out story now.
