noooo that requires even more awkward phone conversation

 

This was simultaneously more horrifying than almost anything I've ever seen and also hilarious to watch

 

I work at 4:30 the morning after the election. I guess I'm not getting a lot of sleep.

 

This is brilliant dear god

 

If nothing else this thread will be very interesting on Wednesday morning

 

This is gonna be entertaining

 

That doesn't make sense either. If you "call out", you are shortening "I am calling to say I will be out of work today." The "out" implies that there were unforeseen circumstances. "Off" implies it was formally planned. That's just me and what the fuck do I know. Ha.

 

What we can agree on is that none of us is ever really sick when we do it haha

 

it is obviously "call out"

 

FWIW I have heard both "Call out" and "Call in sick" but never "Call in"

 

If it is butt-related, no one asks any questions.

 

I say "call in" or "call in sick" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

a former coworker once, unprompted, sent everyone on our team pictures of his bloody shit when he called out.

 

I send an email.

 

I have never had a sick day so I wouldn't know, this sounds like a bizarre brag haha just a goody two shoes

 

Must be a regional thing. I've only ever heard "call in (sick)" and "call out" sounds strange to me.

 

Call in is short for call in sick

 

Days I'm sick I just work from home.
Days I call out sick I'm never sick.

 

And relevant

 

"Accidentally got on a plane"

 

Calling out vs. calling in?





Nah but it's either Call out of work or call in sick...Weird Al has a whole song about calling in sick.

 

I sent a picture of my face being very swollen but this is next level

 

So, people you know are part of long-dead political parties and also send photos of fecal matter. Nice.

 

Been stuck in a conference room all day performing an internal inspection. Being off Twitter/the internet has done wonders for my election anxiety.
