No excuses!

By davka - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff

Today, I was fired from my job. Apparently getting shot is no valid reason to stay home. FML

it was theodore Roosevelt, the bullet jammed into his ribs and he went on for 2 hours, mentioning it in his speech. he was so tough they nicknamed his party the "bull-moose" party.

Teddy Roosevelt: speech was over 60 pages and folded his breast pocket. He almost finished the speech, but bleeding was getting severe.

A bullet wound? Just walk it off, you'll be fine.

People who've gotten shot, that I personally know, say it's not painful, but the shock is what brings pain. As we all know pain is just in the mind.

184 - Not all the time, it's not. Not in the sense it can all be controlled by willing yourself not to hurt, that is.

Well that all depends on the person. I was just using that saying. But, if in your mind you think the injury is minimul, pain will most likely be reduced.

True, but it won't completely get rid of it. I'd assume that if you're shot somewhere, no amount of willing the pain away or convincing yourself it doesn't hurt will help.

Holy ****. I'm pretty sure you can sue your boss for that. The world is just awful nowadays. I miss the love.

Makes me wonder what you were doing where to get shot. That seems more likely to be a reason to get fired.

Yeah. Everyone knows only shady drug dealers get shot.

if it was just. .22, no reason to stay home. check your company policy. I'm sure they have a "smaller than 9mm" clause.

Of course it isn't. Especially when the boss has the hit for you. Maybe that'll teach you to run and get his damn coffee like you said you would. Slacker!
