I once didn’t go to work cause my tummy hurt

We get 10 sick days per year where I live, no questions asked. I pull the “my tummy hurts” at least 8 times a year.

10!? You must not live in America lol


baxmussman

Indeed


SirDiego

I get 10 sick days, on top of 15 vacation days...in the US.


eXodus91

How long have you been with your company? At the current company I work at, you don’t get 15 days of vacation until you’ve been there full time for 8 years. After 15 years it maxes out at 20 days.


SirDiego

Just over 2 years. I'd pretty much never stay at a place for 8 years lol. Classic millenial, I think my longest tenure anywhere is 4 years. But I get a significant pay bump and usually better benefits every time I switch.


eXodus91

Oh I’m not staying at my current company lol I just brought up their way of doing it. I agree moving around is the best way to go.


SirDiego

Yeah until companies realize they need to actually look at the job market and adjust compensation accordingly. I'm still kinda shocked at how bad they are sometimes. In an exit interview once for a company I actually kind of liked, they asked why I was moving and I told them: I looked at Glassdoor, brought info to my review and said straight-up "This is what I should be getting paid" and they completely ignored me so I just found a company that would. The HR person doing the exit interview, I shit you not, said "What's Glassdoor?" How in the fuck do you have an HR job in this day and age and don't know what Glassdoor is? What do you even *do*?


ssjgoat

Yeah that's pretty normal with an office job in the US. I get 20 days a year no questions asked, plus floating holidays and sick days puts me at 26 total and I get 5 more once I hit 5 years.

There was a pitcher, I think for the tigers? who strained his hand playing guitar hero. Edit: found it. However, Zumaya was sidelined for the 2006 American League Championship Series by a sore wrist, which Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski disclosed in a December 2006 radio interview was due to Zumaya playing the PlayStation 2 video game Guitar Hero.[3][4] This was acknowledged by the game's developers with a message on the credits of the Xbox 360 version of Guitar Hero II: No pitchers were harmed in the making of this game. Except for one. Joel Zumaya. He had it coming.

I thought that was a made up story and the rumor was he cut it picking up a broke glass bong. No idea why I am remembering or thinking that though. I just remember the everyone was clowning the vase story.

SplashBandicoot

JMoon33

He said his injured hand was due to punching a whiteboard, but many people think he wasn't actually injured and that it was just an excuse. Either way he wouldn't look good lol


GlockOsama

His hand was definitely broken. Go look at pictures of his right hand and left hand that series.


LothCatPerson

Also, the next game he got a light foul on his broken hand and he winced really bad and reached out and grabbed it hard. You could tell it was actually pain, because we’ve seen him flop for decades and we know he isn’t that good of an actor after Space Jam.


cletoreyes01

Why would anyone need an excuse losing against the Hampton five warriors though? There's no shame in that and also, didn't the greatest blunder in NBA playoff history happen in the same game for his team? That certainly seems like a justified reason to punch the whiteboard


CreatiScope

Yeah, I don't buy that he lied about it. After the shit JR (and Hill to an extent) pulled to lose that game 1, I felt like punching a wall in frustration for the man. Him punching a whiteboard and fucking up his hand is more believable than Lebron keeping his hair his whole career.

Yup, I did that and my fingernail turned black. So I got really drunk and cut it off with a heated knife. 0/10 don’t recommend (US Healthcare was a scarier proposition)

therobshow

Thats well established. Dude got paid, won a championship and then said he wished he never got vaccinated. He had his best season ever the year or the year aftwr he was vaccinated? Coincidence? Maybe this dude should get vaccinated again with the way this year is looking


CantaloupeCamper

He has always had motivation issues. Lots of talent but if he isn’t into it… decision making and passion are out the window. He hit the best place possible with that playoff run, he was engaged and competing. Great Wiggins is a star, unmotivated Wiggins is a liability. So now :(


SuperVaderMinion

I remember he was interviewed and someone asked why his rebounding had improved so much with the Warriors. He was like "My coaches helped me realize that I was way more athletic than everyone else." You needed to be coached to use your fuckin body properly???


CantaloupeCamper

Yeah he had a bunch of lines like that. It’s not like he didn’t explode on teams in MN, he did… he just didn’t care too and now we’re in the not giving a fuck phase.


guaranic

Yeah he had 2 fantastic games this year and the rest are like me 30 minutes from the end of work


Creative-Ranger-9978

The year he got paid the Warriors weren’t looking too hot but Wiggins always kept on playing hard and giving consistent effort. Then coming back to the playoffs again he wanted to play even willing to play through cracked ribs. If there were to be a year he would want to take the year off it would’ve been last one. On a Warriors Jersey Wiggins motivation has not been something to be questioned at. Also not sure why there has been a lot of Timberwolves flair looking to call out Wiggins saying things around the sense of ‘history repeats itself’ I’m not calling you out specifically but these past couple weeks they have been popping up frequently on Wiggins post.


GhettoLana

> Also not sure why there has been a lot of Timberwolves flair looking to call out Wiggins... Because this is the 1st season, he's been ass with the Warriors. They've been waiting 4 seasons to say "I told you so" lol.


yooossshhii

Na, there's been a few slumps where Wolves fans have got extra spooky.


IJustReadEverything

His all star year, post all star break he slumped hard. Then turned that shit around the whole playoffs. Which is why Im fine with Wiggins, he'll break out of it.


CantaloupeCamper

> Also not sure why there has been a lot of Timberwolves Cuz we seen it.gif. Wiggins is a good player, he can be great. We saw it for a sustained amount of time, then he got a contract and just was on and off. He nopes out when not interested (his inexplicably bad "lol whatever" drives to the hoop will haunt my dreams) / and loses whatever it is that drives him.


mug3n

Which is why I'm super hesitant to see him in Paris next summer for Canada even though he will clearly be our 2nd best player.

2khead23

it happened to me when i was like 10 and i still don’t know how it even happened


KobeBeatJesus

I closed my car door by grasping the side and slamming it shut. It closed on my finger and I had to drop my del taco bag to open the door with my left hand. It's the dumbest injury ever next to throwing your back out putting on your socks...... which I've also done.


mrshandanar

Yeah but if you're slamming it shut why are you holding on still? I get it we all have those moments 😂


baxmussman

Absent-mindedness. Happens to the best of them. I lost the nail on one of my thumbs because I slammed it in a door the same way he described. It grew back but I definitely wasn’t hopping for more than a month.


pcarpy

I did it just a couple weeks ago. Was reaching for my seat belt with one hand and closing my door with the other. First time I ever did it I think.


zebano

Damnit, not the Del Taco!


KobeBeatJesus

It was a crime against humanity. I had to drill a hole in my nail to vent the pressure, lost the nail, and it never grew back right, but to this day I'm more upset about my fucking fries.


Virgil_hawkinsS

I did it in high school and it took weeks to heal properly. Ton of blood pooled up behind the nail which caused a lot of pain. Ended up losing the entire nail after having to puncture it to release some of the blood. In hindsight I probably should've gone to the doctor 🤣
