I liked working for my brother in law BC it meant when I had a meltdown I just called him up and told him I was doing that thing his wife does where I can't stop crying for no reason and he said "understood let me know when you're feeling better"' and hung up

I've never had to give a med cert for taking sick leave but I hear NVJ does because he absolutely takes the piss calling in sick as the second shift sous chef at the spanker knob sausage sizzle stand.

Non Compos Mentis posted:mental health days should really be enshrined somehow so everyone gets 10 mental health days along with 10 sick days a year The change from sick leave to personal leave is at least a step in the right direction. It's good being able to take a day of personal leave because brain decides to be fucky.

My current job doesn't give a poo poo and has never asked for a medical cert. When I worked in retail they were obsessed with that poo poo though for literally everything. I had a casual call in sick on my team once and one of the higher managers tried to convince me I needed to get him to get a cert or make him come in. "I've already covered his shift anyway because he gave me heaps of notice. Who gives a gently caress? What are you going to do? Not pay him?" Absolute psychopaths.

You wouldn't pay a casual that called in sick anyway. Casuals don't need sick notes . It's kind of in the definition of the thing that they don't have to give notice to cancel shifts. Obviously the flipside is that a casual that doesn't show up when rostered too much will just not get rostered on.

It depends on where you work/whether your manager is a control freak as to whether you need a medical certificate. Where I'm at right now, you get 8 days of sick/carers leave without a medical certificate per year, and 10 with a med cert. But if you take more than 2 consecutive days you need to get a med cert for that. But we also have this thing where if you have a chronic health condition (for example, I get migraines) you can get one med cert that you can use repeatedly for the whole year, so you don't have to use up all your undocumented leave on something that you don't need to go to the doctor for. It works out pretty well. Compare that to when I worked at Energy Australia and they were loving obsessed with medical certificates. One morning I felt ill once I went to work so I went to the bathroom and threw up. My manager walked in and saw me and told me to go home. Then rang me an hour later and told me I had to go get a medical certificate. Absolutely bullshit, it was satisfying as gently caress telling that manager that I was quitting right before the holidays and leaving her short staffed.

Funky See Funky Do posted:Did you model a particular whale? Is that a squid sucker scar on his upper jaw? As with the shark, I love your attention to detail. The creative director had several images of sperm whales and I found a bunch more and you kind of identify all the separate features you and the client like out of the images and synthesise them into a model. Sperm whales vary a fair bit in those large wrinkles running down the flanks and spine, how notched up the tail flukes are, how prominent the eye socket area is etc. The head and upper jaw are covered in fine linear scars and rough patches from fighting squids, this is an area where individual animals vary drastically so there was back and forth over the specifics. I did some colour studies as a guide for the painters and you can see all the white scarring

Yeah to be honest when I was living solo he was one of my first ports of call to learn how to not make dogshit meals constantly. A lot of his work around teaching people how to cook was incredibly noble, but it always came with a slight air of talking down to people.
