Here is an example:

There's an associate in the office who has the flu, or the

avian flu, or something pretty terrible. She came in

yesterday and spent the day coughing loudly enough you

could hear her down the hall. I told her to try and be a

little more considerate. She asked if she should go home,

but I told her obviously that wasn't an option given her

workload but she should definitely try and cut down on the

coughing and that might even make it easier for her to get

the work done.

So this morning she calls up and says she's really feeling

terrible and she wanted to " work from home, " but I know

that scheme and I told her it's not going to work this time

and she really needs to come in. And, again, she spends

half the day coughing, even after I told her not to. She's

coughing out of spite because I wouldn't let her stay home,

obviously. And it's a game I just don't have time to play

this week, with a deadline on a response brief and a bunch

of other clients with time-sensitive work we need to get

out by the end of the year.

So I see her sneaking out at about 7:30 tonight and I asked

her how far she'd gotten on the piece of the research she's

working on, and she said she hasn't finished yet, so I told

her to turn back around and finish it before she left, and

to please use the service elevator when she finally does

leave because I don't need her germs infecting everyone

else. We're going to have to clean her office and get rid

of whatever she's got, because she hasn't been smart enough

to keep herself healthy at crunch time. You need to take

care of yourself so you don't get sick, because you're not

really allowed to get sick here. Bonus time is coming. I'm

hoping we can play around with her billable hour reports so

she doesn't get a full bonus, as payback for this

whole " sick " thing. I'm sick too. Sick of her.

I'm also sick of the generic post-it notes and their lack

of sufficient stickiness. Generic everything is pretty

terrible.
