Gay Dopers - Are you calling in sick on October 8th?

In My Humble Opinion
21

First I have heard of it, so I doubt I will join in such a poorly-marketed, and ineffectual effort.

I can think of dozens of better ideas that would have had more PR (the whole point of the event) and more powerful impact. If you gave out the White House email address and had every Gay and Lesbian person in the world email on the same day, and CC the Today Show Newsroom, that would at least clog up the email systems and make a political statement and media event.

So - count me as a Gay worker who will be at work on Friday, October 8th - besides, that is donut day.

OK, so I’ll go to work… I actually like my job anyway :slight_smile:

I actually hadn’t thought of the uselessness of the whole thing…

I guess my cold just got better!

Okay, this is the most crack pot idea I’ve heard today.

If they are YOUR sick days you can use them any way you want. Just like in everything else there are the consequences to be weighed.

It isn’t stealing.

:rolleyes:

Heh, stealing a sick day because you weren’t really sick is sorta like stealing $75 from the State because you were speeding and didn’t get caught.

C’mon, fess up. You owe the State about $50,000 by now, don’t you?
