How many sick days

Conservatory

Reading the teachers forum there and I seen some of their co workers can miss a day a week.
I wouldn’t get paid if I missed a day. I might be offered to take it as a holiday.

Anyway I’m in my current job 10 months and haven’t missed a day. I was ten minutes late one day because I left my steel toe boots at home and had to go back for them when I seen my runners on my feet driving the car.

I don’t drink on school nights and keep a healthy weight so I’d imagine that helps. Do you miss many days? Are you always late after smoking weed all night and playing x box? Do you take exactly as many days as you are entitled to on the companies sick day scheme?

Any insight into it?

Usually 1-2 a year only when I am absolutely sure that clients wont be impacted too much if I am absent. I work with very ill/vulnerable clients so I'm a danger if I am sick.

Yeah but usually you get promoted to the not physical stuff by the time you are mid forties. If you are still lugging cement at 60 you are likely not very educated or a heavy boozer or have some sort of reason that will make you die young. The breakfast roll and 20 smokes a day culture was a big throng for killing construction workers or the 5 jam donuts at lunchtime but they try to educate us now.

They need to try harder.

This gets better and better. What has BMI to do with resistance to, or protection from, viruses?
You did mean Body Mass Index, didn't you?

Enlighten us please.

My god you are going for the jugular on this one arnt you. Tell me what’s really upsetting you. Don’t communicate by attacking random people. When you first got angry, the flashpoint what was it?
Was it that people of a healthy weight don’t get sick as much as over or underweight people?
Was it the teachers?
Was it the fact I closed an account a few months ago which I had to put you on ignore to leave me alone and you have noticed now it’s me again and you have started on some sort of crusade again?

I think you think I’m somebody from the past that you had a row with or something or you have some sort of problem with me. Can you just move on.

Now I know the fitness industry says BMI means nothing but I can tell you sister I’m fairly shredded too from running up and down ladders and stairs and a lot of upper body work running pipes through hotels. So general fitness and BMI would be good.

I never said it was. It’s probably the best in my job though. It very physical and people get injured or just too tired now and again. Heavy drinking on a Sunday wouldn’t be uncommon for them. It’s not like teaching. My Irish teachers and some of the religion teachers used to come in sit at the desk a lot of the time and not even register that we were there. Just turn up sleep it off and clock out. They’d booze at lunchtime too. There’s some people getting very defensive here?
Did I say something wrong?

I browse AH now and then, but Christ, are you ever not here posting absolute rubbish! It looks like it’s how you spend your evenings.

My experience is overweight people would rather everyone was overweight than try and loose the weight themselves and get healthy.
Now with PC culture in top gear, no one can call them out on this healthy at any size nonsense, we are supposed to believe that they are just as healthy as those with out a few extra dozen KG of fat, its a great shame on society for not calling a end to this nonsense that is affecting quality of life for fat people, they should be encouraged to loose weight and society should not play along with their delusion.

What made the sick days happen. Was it the x box the booze or the bad BMI stats.

Your all picking on Conservatory because he voted no in the referendum aren't yous;)
I've a teenager in second year and almost every single day he has free classes. Every day! It's madness. I wonder are teachers secretly on flexi time and build up days off or something. Either that or they are all crying stress to the doctor.
And for the record being healthy greatly improves your immune system.
Im a taxi driver and hadn't been sick for about 3 or 4 years, not so much as a cold but I did that darkness into light thing and got sick from being run down the next day. If I had of been healthier and not weighed 100 kg I wouldn't of got sick.

Op can afford 5 donuts on his second lunch break. Let that settle in. He already spent a tenner on his first break on a breakfast roll cup of tea and a pack of crisps. A croissant and cup of tea in morning with 20 smokes and bus fare. I’m not up to date with the secondary schoolers but surely they’d be broke by Tuesday with this level of spending.
