Sooo ... my night tonight was a BUMMER. Memo to dude in LA who I used to date and wanted to hang out tonight: You are NOT GOOD COMPANY when you decide to share with me about how you just broke up with your girlfriend, who is absolutely your soul-mate but doesn't get you hard, and the sexual problems between the two of you were obvious because you were having such
mind-blowing sex with the hot chick you were seeing on the side and you're sorry you have to keep checking your text messages but it's really complicated right now because they both might be pregnant and can you pass the chicken satay? What? Why are you giving me that look?
ZOMG. I remembered you being a lot less of a fuckhead than this, buddy. And who the hell picks up smoking at the age of 28? And you can't pay for dinner because you don't have a job and all your "money" is tied up "in the stock market" right now? You are gross and pathetic, and please delete my number from your cell phone.
For what it's worth, though, Pathetic Fuckhead told me that the Washington Redskins always play the day before the election and, for the past hundred years, whenever they've lost that game, the Oval Office has changed parties. The Redskins lost to the Steelers tonight by a solid margin.
Anyway, I came home from this disaster of a dinner and someone had sent me
this link and it put a smile back on my face. It's some recent correspondence between an Australian call center employee and his supervisor.

Niresh,
1 day leave absences do not require a medical certificate as stated in my contract, provided I have stated that I am on leave for medical reasons.
Thanks

Hi Kyle,
Usually that is the case, as per your contract. However please note that leave during these occasions is only granted for genuine medical reasons. You line manager has determined that your leave was not due to medical reasons and as such we cannot grant leave on this occasion.

Hi Niresh,
My leave was due to medical reasons, so you cannot deny leave based on a line manager's discretion, with no proof, please process leave as requested.
Thanks
