    L. M. F. A. O.

    Anon is definitely not asian.

    Asian parents would tell you to get you ass to school, even if you have Covid.

    Like my mom doesn’t care if I infect the whole school with covid, as long as I’m not dead, I have to be in school.

    🤦‍♂️

        Yea Covid is not a secret weapon unleashed by some government. Its actually the wrath of asian helicopter parents. You’ve angered Confucious, so his spirit was invoked to teach y’all a lesson. Yep thats right. Covid is caused by old spirits. 🫠

      Ironically, you will probably do better in school if you take 1-2 days off to rest, instead of wasting 3-4 days going in and getting nothing out of it because you’re unable to focus. But who cares, right?

        This is what I also realized with work. It’s better to rest and recover in 2-3 days, then struggle for 4-5 or more (even from home office). Luckily, at my workplace in Germany, you can take 2 days of sick leave without any doctor’s note.

            Or think about it this way, would you rather have 2 weeks of PTO or one week of vacation and one week of sick leave? Or even 2.5 weeks PTO vs 2 weeks vacation and 1 week sick leave and you need to provide a reason for the sick leave?

            I much prefer PTO over some mixed policy, even if the mix is technically more time off.

      Running a fever? - Yes. - How high? - 39.9°C - Yeah, not fatal, going to school!

      Also if you had a single mother raising all the kids and working overtime at some factory.

      I’d usually be found at school hugging a bottle of gingerale and periodically power puking in the bathroom when I was really sick.

      Very rarely did I get out of it, and usually it was for strep throat or stomach infection.
