thessalianWhen I have a nasty migraine, or sore wrists, or am just too fucking tired to work, people tend to tell me to stop. (Unless they're ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nightskywarlock, who just o_os at me, but same basic difference.) And they expect me to listen. And I've started to, as I am starting to see the wisdom of what they're saying.
When other people are too tired, or sore, or generally unhappy to work, and I tell them to stop, what happens? Do they take their own advice as it issues from my lips?
Do they bollocks.
Despite the fact that none of it's life-altering and it could probably all wait until at least Wednesday (if it actually needs doing at all in the grand scheme of things), does it wait? Does he just lie down, have a hot bath, and let it sit for a couple of days? No. He insists on doing it, insists on torturing himself ... and then further insists on bitching about it.
If I wanted to hear a bitch about people's deteriorating physical health, I'd stay at work. At least the patients are for the most part trying to do something to better their situation instead of playing fucking martyr or torturing themselves with diddyshit unnecessary crap in some bid not to self-analyse or whatever the hell prompts some people to do things for others rather than themselves.
In short...
Double standard.
Double standard.
DOUBLE FUCKING STANDARD!
