Also, many places that have that clause don't drug test upon entry or randomly. It's just something they want to be able to do if you show up all twitchy with bloodshot eyes.
I like our system here. You pay something like $60 to apply to 3 universities, then each additional university application after that is an extra $20. Everything is automated after that, your transcripts get sent, it shows you acceptances and scholarship offers, you accept an offer from there and they all have the same dates for expiration so you dont get screwed over waiting for an acceptance you want. It's incredibly handy having to just fill out one form and have everything you need in one place.
That said, some universities require an additional essay, cover letter or something but they're still within the system. And if you want to apply out of province or country it obviously doesn't apply.

Is calling out sick usually called an unplanned absence? And is it usually punishable?
I just did it and my manager notified me I'm at 3 unplanned absences, and if I reach 7, it involves "corrective action". I didn't realize you're not supposed to call out sick, wtf

Calling in sick is unplanned. my current employer offers me 3 work weeks absence, and it's all called "Paid Time Off". i keep my own time, and am expected to be present for at least 7 of the hours between 8 - 5.Jay wrote:

Calling in sick is code for 'Personal Appreciation Day', and usually scheduled with a loved one in advance, and communicated to management with a dry cough about half an hour before you*re expected to be present.A2TG2 wrote:

Calling in sick is what I did when I had something absolutely contagious. Haven't ever used it for "time off." That shit was for school days.
are you self-employed?unnamednewbie13 wrote:

Yep. Family business, construction contracting, co-owner + a myriad of job descriptions. Not something I particularly care to do forever, but at least it can be interesting.
e: one of my previous jobs was at a computer repair shop working for a relic from 70's electronics. fixed and cleaned everything given to me, and quit when he started getting paranoid and blaming people for stealing things that were simply lost under his piles of junk. smart guy but not a good boss. /c.s.b.

if family doesn't know you*re sick, noone does.
calling in sick to a family owned business is like shooting fish in a bucket.
calling in sick to a small company that provides benefits involves trust, that you are not abusing the system, and that your shit was handled before you made the call.
calling in sick to a big chain involves numbers. do you have the time? do you have the right phone number? do you have the cajones to needlessly jepordize your job to someone who's currently unemployed?

Well I've obviously never had to call in sick to the family business. Since a lot of the jobs early on were solo, I went anyway. Summer cold turned my throat into ground beef that year for like three months of outdoor night work, but at least it wasn't the flu. I've got plenty more luxury to take time off now that we've enough employees to fill in the gaps.
I wouldn't mind going into veterinary science later on. Just setting aside funds for it or whatever tickles my fancy when I decide to go back to college.
e: reading good things about Cornell University in NY state, but damn the non-resident rates.

I have 5 sick days, 15 vacation days, and 12 personal days (out of which come the company holidays). Next September I hit 15 years and 20 vacation days.Jay wrote:

The reason for it is it's been somewhat of a lifelong interest and a challenge completely out of my field of expertise. It should keep me occupied for possible midlife crisis.Jay wrote:

I'll have to find out how long I have to live in New York to be considered a resident. One of the sites I've been reading up on them on is here, which puts Cornell at #1 and WSU at #15. The latter would be easier for me since I already live in Washingotn, but I'd still have to move across state. Regardless, I'm going to keep socking away money for 10 to 15 years before I consider attending. I'd like to be able to just focus on that and not have to deal with a side job at the same time.
