WWYD? Work related

[thebay]

I'm supposed to work tomorrow. I have a nasty cold that is of course aggravating my asthma. H is off tomorrow, so I could laze around and kill germs with booze.

I'm basically front desk at a barn, it's cold as fuck (thus no one wants to ride) so basically I stand around and try to organise the office. That is chilly. Also most of the people that board there/work there smoke, so I'm always around freaking cig smoke.

Am I being a wuss? My boss most likely won't care, but I NEVER call out. And I'm a chicken and feel obligated to come in and do nothing.

I think I'd wait to see how I felt tomorrow
And tell your coworkers not to smoke, it's not 1972

Apparently it is here, lol. The place goes smoke free this spring, it's not going to go over well.

Eh. I'd take the day off. Feel better, lady!

..and the coworkers smoking around you thing would irk the fuck out of me. Its 2015...its called a designated smoking area. yuck.

[ceebug]

I say enjoy your long weekend!

[daometjing]

I would take the day off. And omg, they should never smoke in a barn!

What I'd tell you to do (stay home) is different than what I would do (go to work because I'd feel needlessly guilty).

So stay home.

This right hurr. Although this poll may be alleviating the guilt a little.

I would call in but if you really are not feeling great, maybe drink some juice instead of booze.

SORRY FOR BEING OLD AND WORRYING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.

So vodka in the oj?

GOT IT. ALL OVER IT!

[helenahhandbasket]

I mean, if you have sick time, stay home?

I am sorry if this is the dumbest question in the world-- but are there animals in the barn? Isn't it bad for them to be exposed to second hand smoke? (and for you as well, obviously?)

I don't have sick time, I just don't work.

And yeah, it's not fabulous by any stretch. At least the barns are open air, and the hay is stored away from the barn, but you try telling a bunch of 40+ year old lifetime chain smokers to not smoke at the barn.

I DGAF if people smoke, but it sucks to be forced to be around it.

Lol, looks like this poll is a landslide hahah
