are all men whimps??

there are two colleages at work -both men,
one sleepless night they call in sick.....
one little sniffle = man flu...... they call in sick...

i mean WTF??

i have sleepless nights every day.. i still drag myself to work...

i have a little cold... i stil come in to work...

Do u think its a LAME exsuss calling in sick cos they didnt sleep very well the night before??

or maybe the men i work with are just full of WHIMPS!! or are they just men or boy?? what do u think Girls?

Men are mainly whimps!! they don't have the necessary means to deal with stress, it's not built in, we women have it ! they do not, remember that women are from venus, men are from mars!! they just cannot hack it, in the main!!

thanks welsh, it really annoys me when they call in sick just cos they didnt sleep very well ,or if they have a little sniffle.

our supervisor is just so soft, he just let them take the day off.... bloody men!

I think us females have an inborn sense of being able to carry on. It's in preparation for when we have children one day, because no matter how tired or poorly you might feel, you still have to look after the needs of a child first. My husband's not too bad with coping with feeling under the weather, but yes..he's been known to exaggerate a bad cold. Of COURSE it was flu!!! : )

It's thanks to 'martyrs' like you coming into work and spreading your germs that other people catch a cold.

(Sniff sniff. Achoo!)

It all depends on the job, I suppose.

I'm assuming it's one that doesn't require any spelling or grammatical skills?

Could it be something to do with recent surveys which found that men care for their wives when they have such ailments but it did not happen vice-versa?

I'm going to defend us guys, I can't speak for how wimpy your colleagues are, or any other guys for that matter, but I can't ever remember missing anything due to lack of sleep. I admit that I have sometimes called in sick when I didn't need to, but that would always have been for some other reason (which is ind of common, as I am only 19 and in uni). We're not all wimps...
And maybe it isn't 'built in', but I actually tend to be alright in dealing with stress overall.
