UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH!
I am in such incredible pain! I am so stoned on painkillers! I cannot believe I made it in today! I would have taken another day off but my medical certificate was only good Thursday to Monday. I came in late today and now I have to deal with this shit. FUCK WORK. I’m shaking like a leaf, I’m pale, I keep wanting to vomit.
I HATE THIS SHIT
:mad:
I’m sorry you’re feeling so bad. Are you able to keep some food down? I ask because if you’re shaking, pale and want to vomit, it sounds like you took a painkiller on an empty stomach.
Hope you’re doing much better soon.
Honey
Reminds me of when my back went out; I got a small supply of Vicodin from the emergency room and later called my doctor for my usual Percocet & Flexeril scripts. I was off work for four days and when I did go back I was so stoned that all I could do was take inventory of our microfilm reels. I worked the copy room at time and was unable to operate the copiers or the film readers, at least I could take inventory which was something that needed doing.
shit! i read the thread title and my first thought was “Where do I apply?” 
go home!
Hey, man. I feel your pain. Well, lack thereof. I’ll gladly take your painkillers if you don’t want them.
scott, I say fuck work and threaten to sue them for intentional infliction of pain and emotional distress. Two questions: (1) Who the hell is your manager? and (2) Do you want me to come up there and Enforce Reality on someone’s ass? I’m good at it. Just ask any of my previous vict-- er, consultees.
Some woman. She’s actually quite understanding. As soon as any of us gets the sniffles she gets all concerned. Besides, my medical certificate was only for Thursday afternoon through Monday, and they need me here.
I just want you to come up here, period. 
Anyway, I’m feeling much better today. I skipped the Percocet in the morning (only took Vioxx) and took plain old Tylenol, so that I wouldn’t be stoned all day. I’ll take the Percs in the evenings.
And I’m still waiting for your email, sweets.
Scott, you didn’t tell me that you were feeling like you wanted to vomit! :eek: I would have remembered THAT if you had included it in your email! Not that there’s much to be done about it, if so. Oh wait, that was yesterday. (technically two days ago, but who’s counting?) You sent the email today… still musy be feeling pretty bad, though.
I really hope you feel better over the next few days. It’s too bad you couldn’t take more time off, and if they need you there, I guess you have to be there even though it’s the last place you want to be. Hang in there!
Oops… forgot to look over my post carefully before sending. What I meant to say was that you still must be feeling pretty bad.
[sub]I swear, what I need to learn to do is type all my replies out in a huge font size, and after proofreading it, shrink it down to mormal before sending…[/sub]
Scott, my boy, go ahead and heave. At your desk if possible(and if you have a janitorial service). They will send you home straight away.
NOBODY wants to work around someone who could spew at any moment…
{scott evil}
Glad you found a solution though. (You get stoned on Percs? Hmm…facinating. I’ve never had that problem, Vicodin screws me up so badly I refuse to take it becacuse I’d rather be in pain, but Percs were always a happy clear experiance for me.)
Good on you for being there when people need you and deciding you can take it. I’m proud of you.
Now go home and go back to bed.
I stopped taking the Percs in the morning before work. I’ve been taking just Vioxx and Tylenol mornings, and Percs in the evening when I can afford to be stoned.
Anyway I’m feeling much better, thanks, and sleep is much easier without the pain.
Oops. I already said that… :o
