Tale Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Friday night/Saturday morning my allergies started up something awful. Or that's what I thought. Seems more like I have a cold. The second cold in a month. Dayquil provides about 30 minutes of relief after taking it, so I've got that going for me. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Gorth Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Nature is so blasted overrated sometimes... woke up at 4am when the Kookaburras started. Didn't stop until 5am. That's when the pigeons (aka "flying rats" locally, being for all intent and purposes rats with wings) started and didn't let up with their infernal noise until 6:30. Not a cat around when you need one Kookaburra sound... https://youtu.be/UXA0-YAoo9Q 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Been doing well this week, so I'm happy. Also, the stocks I have invested in has finally turned from negative to positive. Good times. I'm not at all surprised, from what you've said that place is awful. Stress is not a problem we have at work really, but there is alot of lifting wich cause people to injure themselves in different ways, shoulders, backs, wrists and elbows tend to give out. I'm honestly quite surprised about how few real accidents we've had there though, many people tend to skimp on the safety routines. Hell, skimp, they don't bother with them at all. Most annoyingly our branch has the highest production in all of Sweden, but we have the lowest wage. People are getting really pissed off that we're getting nothing of the profits. It's not a small amount that differs either, we're talking of nearly 200€ difference. And the union is being limpwristed about things aswell. 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Azdeus Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Is "stress" a legitimate excuse for calling off work in Sweden? Not necessarilly, but you can get it diagnosed, and then you can. Edit; More like "burnt out" Edit 2; We're talking about symptoms like depression and anxiety, insomnia and similar things. So if the doctors diagnose it as such you'll get help recovering, that can include sick leave. You can't call in and say you're not coming to work because you're too stressed though.
