I hate that my co-worker is a chronic liar and comes up with bs excuses of why she cannot come to work leaving me to deal with her side of the darn room and all of her students that need things. Seriously, she needs to get off the bottle and off her fat @ss and come to work now. She always has some thing or another and this week it's a toothache that has turned into she has to have a root canal and she's been calling out since Monday . . .
In any other normal job she'd be fired by now . . .but apparently (I used to work in the outside world) working for a muncipality which grants us 18 sick days per year you can use them all up yearly and not be accused of abusing sick time . . .I think I need to try it . . .seriously, all my sick days (over 70 of them) are just sitting there not being touched . . .I really need a day off!
