My boss, who is a little older than me, messaged me and said he wasn't going to be in today because he had a bad headache. Yeah, so what bitch? I have a bad headache every day anymore, some of them get so bad that I start hearing colors. 8 aspirin or ibuprofen every 4 hours will usually keep it at bay enough to where I can function but but whatever. How is a headache keeping you from coming to work? Sure, there are days when the joints flare up and I can't use my left hand or my ankle wants to give out, but still..I still make it in to work, and you're the one going to the doctor every other week it seems like.

I guess I've just learned to live with this stuff and he's a little bitch.

Does he strike you as the sort of person who would actually take off for a headache?

I don't know, I can't judge that kind of thing about people. Never had had that kind of intuition.

I've known him for a while and I've generally found that I can take things he says at face value

If you have known him long enough to take most of what he says at face value, let it rest.

Maybe he has a really bad headache, something so crippling he can't work through it.

Or maybe he is lying to you because he doesn't want you to know the real reason he is taking off.

Maybe his cat died and he didn't want to seem like a pussy.

Maybe his Son OD'd and he doesn't want to seem like a bad Father to his coworkers.

Maybe he was actually attempted suicide and got 302'd.

It really could be anything. It could even be a headache.

The point is, most people I know just seem to take time because "Oh I hurt today." What the fuck?
