convince me to work tomorrow

[donheld]

I'm having a bad hay fever attack or a cold, who can tell the difference. I sure hate to miss transporting people on Mom's day, but I can't sleep. Need to be there by 6:30 it's 1:30 now

1. come on dude!

Hey, what about some medicine to kill the feverish pains at least for the time you are working?
Also, think about the money! I pretty much hate my job, wanting to stay at home pretty much every day of the week.
But I constantly keep rewarding myself with some little gifts to myself (having thrown an eye on one of the new Patek Philippe watches at the moment), and that helps to keep me motivated.
Hard work = sweet rewards.
To me it´s that easy, and it keeps me going.

2. those watches cost as much and in plenty of cases

more than my house. The cheapest I saw was just under $10k. :crazy:

3. Transporting people may not be easy or safe to do on pain meds

or any other kind of medication (if the person is a transit/cab or volunteer driver.)

Also, IF the OP has a nasty cold, they could spread it around.

Unless the OP Is MUCH better, I'd advise NOT going to work.

just my 2cents.

I know these things are pricy, but as I said, I am working very hard.
I have a job that earns me the respective money, but believe me, it is a stressful one, so I allow myself these things as a reward from time to time.

5. Patek Philippe

Oh, and by the way: Patek Philippe made the most expensive watch on the market (according to Wikipedia, but they also sell ones that are not thaaat expensive.
Especially if you buy them used.
