cdi sick days / being vegetarian

Hey,Thanks for responding so quickly! You rock. So, you didn't get your 7 unpaid days off? I'm afraid to ask but how do sick days work there? How would I fare as a vegetarian there? This is probably my biggest concern, starving to death. I don't eat seafood either. Hope you have a great week!

Hey,Thanks for responding so quickly! You rock. no prob.

So, you didn't get your 7 unpaid days off? no, but i never requested to take them. other coworkers did, they are yours to take if you want.

I'm afraid to ask but how do sick days work there? i think this varies by branch. at pyeongchon, we're supposed to call as early as possible, and bring in a doctor's note on the day we return, tho i dont know if that's enforced, ive never called in sick.

i can tell you that personally, tho, i hate it when someone calls in sick b/c it means someone else has to cover the class. a couple weeks ago, some girl called in sick and i was called to cover, and i was pissy the whole morning. i was bitter and annoyed and wondered "how sick can she possibly be? it's only a 6 hour shift, and she lives down the street." but again, that's just me. i dont like giving up my days off. it's not like you get an extra day off for it.... ha, i just really like my free time.

How would I fare as a vegetarian there? This is probably my biggest concern, starving to death. I don't eat seafood either. i really dont know, im omnivore. check here: http://wiki.galbijim.com/Vegetarian
