When I was in the military they used to call this “not coming to work prepared for duty” then they would send you to see the Doc that would say take two Motrin and drink plenty of water, now go back to work

Lol. What happens if you take the motrin, go back to work, then wreck your truck and kill someone because you fell asleep at the wheel?

The question then becomes, can they discipline you for it? Like use it in a disciplinary progression? Or does the law prevent disciplinary action as well?

"Fatigued" is the wild card. Ill works too.

If it ever came down to it, a jury would probably side with "fatigue" being the result of a 70 hour workweek

He never calls me a liar. He may disbelieve what I post sometimes but he's always directed that to the post and not the person.
@623STEWARD is the exception.
I wish he'd get me some coffee when he gets out of "time out".

 

[623STEWARD]

Hey brother I’m in no timeout
I also don’t get anyone coffee.
You got me mixed up with BUg
See the new slate forming ?

We got a guy who is the bully of Boston
and we got a guy from philly that can’t read ! we got another guy that @Wideload says has bad breath!!
Sounds like a perfect mix
FACT

He never calls me a liar. He may disbelieve what I post sometimes but he's always directed that to the post and not the person.
