Self-employed and sick?

[boomer]

You do what I do and get some staff and go into survival mode and hope for the best. I'm nearly right these days, so things will change with any luck. I'm fast realising I am wayyyy out of the game though.

Steve

you cant sub contract what im doing unfortunately.

The reality is though, if you can't afford (financially) to get sick - or just as importantly, take holidays - then you're not charging enough or budgeting well.

you really think i failed to budget for the 2 years sickness i didn;t see coming: you tell me if you can survive for that long on your savings.... mine have all dried up now and ive sold everything.

Bad financial planning on my part huh....

its made me a grumpy wanker for sure

[boomer]

See, that pisses me off. I have a kid who ends up in hospital when he gets a cold. I know it's fashionable not to give a fuck about anyone else, but still.....

i came out of hospital, neutropenic for 2 weeks, my partners work colleagues knew this but one of 'em still turned up to work with Swine flue of all fkin things... you can bet i was a happy camper


unfortunately some people, myself included, dont think some times!

A fair enough point. Appropriate insurance should cover you for the big stuff, but would be unlikely to cover you for 2+ years of illness.

Respect to you for fighting through it.

One of my kids runs close to neutropenic all the time. He's crook as a dog and I have Glandular Fever (because of being run down as well as the virus the following chap gave me) AGAIN thanks to a dude who was asked to go home on Monday, but stayed at work spray saliva and mucous everywhere.

I get stabby with people who turn up to work sick. I'll do their friggin job for them and work 16 hour days, if they'll just - stay - home.

I don't think many of the locals have telly's. There's probably one in the only pub in town.

I'm not going to argue, I have a cold.
