THIS IS AN UNSOLVABLE PROBLEM!

Well, no, there's actually several solutions, let me list them ...

THIS IS AN UNSOVABLE PROBLEM, SINCE WE HAVE EXCLUDED ALL PROFFERED SOLUTIONS!

I think that covers every problem at every table ever. Well done.

A stray adopted us and had a litter of murder muffins in our house. We're beyond full for cats already. Free to a good home. Should be ready to adopt around the first week of November. Too young to be fixed yet. All friendly and used to people. Some boys, some girls. Near Portland, OR.

@CleverNickName . Want a cat or three?

We are on the complete other coast, and Blotch is cat enough for us, but you have a hell of a sales pitch. I hope you find good people for them.

Well, sometimes the issue with the "unsolveable problem" is that it genuinely is unsolvable, its just the people presenting it haven't defined it precisely enough that that's clear. Or, yes, excluding all the offered solutions is because the solutions aren't considered acceptable out the gate. One can argue they're got overly specific requirements, but they're not being disingenuous, just sloppy.

That guy’s entire schtick seems to be how abused he is for his (extremely aggressive) opinion.

What state is Jack in? That would be illegal in many.

The company operates on a points system - once you've used up your sick time, you start accruing points for calling out. And when you call out and don't have any sick time left, they use your PTO to cover the lost time.
So if I'd worked every day that week, I would have had more than 40 hours of regular time on the clock, which would have become overtime.
But, since I called out, I'll be getting eight hours of PTO and thirty-four(-ish) hours of regular time. Sucks to be me.

This is generally me, in any situation short of actual decapitation.

In which case, it'd be, "I'm a little banged up, I'm fine... has anyone seen where the rest of me went?"

I really need to stop doing that someday. It's been catching up to me much faster than it used to.

There's always two problems with this, one more severe than the other.

The less severe: When you're exhausted or injured, even when you can continue work, its unlikely to be of the same quality. Whether that's still better than not getting it done immediately is heavily situational.

The more severe: When you're infectious, incentives to get in and work anyway are a terrible idea, but they're almost (pun unavoidable) endemic.
