I ended up sitting in 342 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: the doctor's office for a little over an hour, which 343 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: for a walk in was actually pretty good. I get 344 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: in to see the doctor and she is fear you 345 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: sent me for coming in, Like, how dare you be 346 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: sick and coming for help? 347 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 2: Tell your organs to stop now. Slight side note. 348 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: When I was in high school, we had a drumline 349 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 1: instructor who's like favorite catchphrases. His catchphrases were like incorrect 350 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: or that's not good enough. So we used to have 351 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: a joke where if you were sick, that's his catchphrase. 352 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 1: That was his catchphrase. He actually was amazing, but he 353 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: just didn't tolerate any any mediocrity, So we would we 354 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: would have a joke where we're basically like, anytime someone's sick, 355 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: you would tell your body incorrect. 356 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 2: And you was force your telling me to start chilling 357 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 2: the virus inside. Yeah, oh good time. Only he was 358 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 2: around for Corona. You know we could use you, John Vera, 359 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 2: come on, come back. 360 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: The doctor said, you're not supposed to come to the 361 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: doctors when you have the cold of the flu, And 362 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: of course I knew I should be able to self certify. 363 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 2: She told me that, saying that I shouldn't be here 364 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 2: because basically, like the doctors worried about getting everyone else sick. 365 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 4: Exactly, this is what I think is going on here too. 366 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, thank you for confirming. We really needed that. 367 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 2: We figured it out. 368 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: I then explained what happened with Steve and how he 369 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,719 Speaker 1: had threatened to fire me over this, and I couldn't 370 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: afford to lose my job because I was struggling as 371 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: it is. My doctor turned her anger towards my manager, Steve. 372 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 2: Hell, yeah, doctor's on our side. Yes, that's right. You 373 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: pissed off the wrong doctor today, Steve. Yeah, doctor hate him. 374 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: Today's prescription. 375 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: You're fire, She asked, if I got sick pay from 376 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: the company, to which I responded, yes, Oh he wants 377 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: a sick note, does he? The doctor says, okay, I'll 378 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: give him a sick note. 379 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: Is getting by sea now? 380 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: My manager wanted a note confirming I was sick, but 381 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: instead my doctor wrote something along the lines of this. 382 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 2: Op has come to. 383 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 1: The surgery because Steve has insisted she come in in 384 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: spite of the fact that it is illegal and all 385 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: employees are allowed to self certify, due to being forced 386 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: to make this unnecessarily unnecessary and highly dangerous trip when 387 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: the patient is ill, has a fever of thirty nine 388 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: degrees celsius, and almost passed out in the waiting room. 389 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 2: Thirty nine degrees is like like a hundred Yes, that 390 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 2: is bad, brot. 391 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: I am signing my name, doctor's name off for two 392 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: full weeks to recover. Had Op been allowed to self certify, 393 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: as is the law, they might have only needed a 394 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: few days, but due to straining themselves, they now require 395 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: full two weeks to recover. They are not to be 396 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: promoted to work until two weeks from now. 397 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 5: Whoo a man, dude, this doctor is the goat greatest 398 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 5: of all time. 399 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: The doctor said she would have signed me off longer, 400 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: but this was the longest she could do without requiring 401 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: further evidence. So basically, instead of just being off for 402 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: a few days, I was now signed off for. 403 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 2: A full two weeks, which I'd be paid for. Oh yeah, 404 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 2: get that money, get that money. 405 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 6: Take that Steve y.

I explained what happened, and 415 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: they agreed to help me go downstairs to Steve's office. 416 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 2: Infect Steve with the flu.
