Oh, dear, Madam! That is entirely TMI for m...Sioux,<br />Oh, dear, Madam! That is entirely TMI for me.<br /><br />You must have 150 sick days stockpiled! You are the Mother Teresa of third grade teachers! Let me give you a little piece of advice, from my best ol' ex-teaching buddy Mabel.<br /><br />When you retire, those former students and fellow faculty are not going to say, "That Sioux! She was such a great teacher! So selfless, always coming to school, even when she was sick, just so she could make sure her students got the best education possible!"<br /><br />No. They're going to say, "Who's Sioux?"<br /><br />Yep. That made me re-evaluate my own sick day stockpile. Why inconvenience myself by working sick, or withholding food and drink all the livelong day until I could get to my lab test? Even though it is extra work to be off, I am trading a couple of hours of extra work for 8 hours of alternative activities.<br /><br />Can't take 'em with you! And, like Carlene Dobber found out, your permanent record does not continue into adulthood.<br /><br />Says Mrs. Hillbilly Mom, smugly sitting on 93 sick days, with 10 to be added next year, and a 100-day cap.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-77001062364059880312015-04-25T18:35:36.643-05:002015-04-25T18:35:36.643-05:00Someday I want a job where it's LESS work to c...Someday I want a job where it's LESS work to call in sick, instead of MORE work...<br /><br />I only call in if I'm sick at both ends... which is why in 15 years at my school, I've only needed a sub (excluding school business days) once.Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-62614877239467275302015-04-25T18:34:57.181-05:002015-04-25T18:34:57.181-05:00Kathy,
