National Sick Day
February 1st, 2010
Well, I just had to blog about this: Apparently today, the first Monday in February, is in fact “National Sick Day” – the one day per year when the most employees call in sick for no good reason. Now, I had no knowledge of this day when I made today’s comic, so this definitely chalks up as a really weird coincidence! You can read more about the phenomenon here.
And to make matters even more uncanny, I seriously contemplated calling in sick to work today – as I felt pretty awful – but decided against it when I realized that I always do. Well, I guess that’s not really uncanny, just… sad.
Anyway, I hope you found this amusing as well, whether you’re at work or at home wrapped under a blanket watching Oprah reruns.

I thought about calling in sick too, but due to tiredness (4 hours of sleep) rather than sickness, that’s crazy though, I had no idea!

Today was the first Monday in a while that I -didn’t- consider calling in sick. I must be out of sync with the world.

That’s weird… I did call in sick today, something I rarely do. Not because I was ill, but because I managed to develop a major neck cramp that made it nearly impossible to move around.

Damn, I caught this too late >_< Maybe next year.
