_There's a catch._ A catch? _Sure, Catch-22. Anyone who wants to work from home isn't really crazy, so I can't let them work from home._ Let me see if I got this straight. In order to work from home, I've got to be crazy and I must be crazy to want to keep working regardless of where. But if I ask to work from home, that means I'm not crazy any more and I have to keep coming into the office. _You've got it! That's Catch-22._ That's some catch, that Catch-22.

@patrickworld@mastodon.online Calling-in sick is what the employee does to their supervisor. Calling-out sick is what the supervisor tells everyone else on the team why you're not there that day. :-)

@patrickworld@mastodon.online How about calling in WELL? "I feel way to good to go to work today"

@patrickworld@mastodon.online I've been considering this entirely too much (blame my linguistics background) because I immediately thought you call IN sick, but couldn't say why. But it's because "in" describes the CALL. You call in. You're out sick. Both make sense though if you separate the contexts a bit.
