For the record, the last sick day I took was in 2018. I had a kidney stone and missed 1.5 days of work.

I understand that according to Matt Walsh I should feel embarrassed about that, but at least he doesn't think it makes me demonic. Like he does when I play a video game.

The embarrassment stems from most adults taking a sick day when they're hung over or overslept and it's too late to get to work on time.

Or as a vacation day. Oh you're sick the two days before your vacation starts? Huh.

Everybody knows what you're doing and that's embarrassing.

A sick day when you actually are sick or saw a doctor is the opposite of embarrassing, but odds are that's not why somebody is out.

Counter point. Fuck you. I do what I want.

Counter-counter point;

You absolutely can do what you want, but you have an obligation to live up to a contract you signed, that said short of legitimate illness you agree to go to work everyday.

Saying Fuck you I do what I want, ultimately means that they also get to say "fuck you I'll do what I want, which is to not pay you for what you worked"...

and that, I am sure you'll agree, is a bad thing and not something we should just say "Fuck you" to..

Just food for thought.
