Here in Italy work contracts magically stop being renewed when someone calls sick, or workers are moved in other divisions of the companies, that unluckily fail before the end of the year with subsequent layoffs.
Is it legal? No. Does it matter? neither. Right now if a worker has been unjustifiably laid off and presents a lawsuits and wins he is not entitled to have back his job.
Sometimes I see a grim future ahead...

Wow. So much for the civilized world. Thanks for the education, I thought Europe was more socially advanced than the US.

On the paper yes, under the surface not. In Italy more than in any other country I have ever seen there is a tendence to completely ignore any rule. Everything goes on by personal favours, acquaintances and understood agreement not to make any rule enforced (if I see someone breaking the law it is expected that I turn my head and pretend I didn't see, anyone denouncing the crime is socially scorned, even if not publicly).

It all depends on whether you are perm or contract. If contract, always go in unless you are dying (or dead even), but if perm, although a cold is not that bad, it makes more sense to not spread it around. As a perm, is it not obligatory to have a least one day sick per month!! Not having been perm for a very long time, I have forgotten.

About a year ago I had been off sick and came in when I felt better. I had a bad case of post-viral blockage and coughing, even though I was clearly no longer infectious (no temperature etc.).
Someone complained to HR about me.
Since then I have no qualms about taking sick days.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

I stay home if illness affects my ability to think or drive. Or if I think I'll be coughing or blowing my nose too frequently for my neighbors.
|

If I'm pretty sure that I'm going to have to write all of the code that I'm working on because I feel like crap, then I go home.

It's better to stay at home if you're sick so you don't pass the sickness on to your coworkers.
But, don't you need to watch out for the KGB or something?  Will they be suspicious?

Just you and your boy and the missus?
That's 12 each!

Not a bad pace! Good life lesson for the kid!

no, just f***ing big glasses 
Actually, beer in pubs is expensive here (IMHO) $5 isn't an expensive beer - and that's only a schooner - so about 3.4 pint!

Well, good drinking and pi**ing then
Seems reasonable:
10 Beer á 3,20€ - 32€ (0,5l)
6 Cocktails á 8€ - 48€ (0,5l)
2 Cokes á 5,60€ 2,80€ - 11,20€ 5,60€ (0,5l) to refill some non alc stuff
=> 91,20€ (103,50$) per person
You got a lot to then, still 100$ missing
Edit: the maths is broke...

There you go:
Noted hunter of Lokai capturing last of the hare haunted hunter is confused. (9) lit.
Hint I: The captured hunter was formerly known as Egghead. [1h 32min]
Good luck!
