I have to laugh at the bizarre logic of some people. I'm meeting up with a few friends, for a few beers. One of them isn't coming, because they called in sick for work this morning, for a shift that finished at half past two. Now they feel they can't be seen out in public, at eight o'clock in the evening. What?! Really, get some perspective! It's not like calling in sick, and then being seen having lunch with a bunch of work colleagues when you were meant to be on shift. People do feel differently in the morning, to in the evening. By that logic, if you are feeling well in the morning, then you can't be feeling ill by the evening... surely it must work both ways? I cannot understand why a perfectly normal situation has become weirdly fraught with unnecessary stress! For them, not me; I'm just bemused.
Complicated beyond reason
