    Default Rant - why I wish we got paid "sick time"

    So...I was mid session (with a total asshole, which makes it even more annoying...) when I felt something "ping" in my back....I've been working out my back and chest muscles a lot recently (hellooooo perkier boobs!!) so I know that they have been a little sore/tight.....but I think I seriously pulled something!!

    Lifting my arm above my shoulder hurts. Sitting down hurts. Fuck, breathing hurts!!! Not a lot, but enough that I have had a few inadvertent winces while on cam in the past few minutes, and when doing another pvt, a lot of my usual moves and positions are not comfy....

    I have put on gel and taken a couple painkillers, and I'm logging off for an hour or so to let those kick in, but FUCK!!!!

    And of course it happens the last week before rent etc is due (well, the last week that my pay is guaranteed to get to me before the 1st) and I need that money!! Yes, I have a buffer, but paying taxes and still building it back up from moving has kinda...diminished it. I was looking forward to working EXTRA hard this week to build it back up! Sod's law, I guess...

    Ugh. I just felt the need to rant. I'm going to have to put my big girl panties on, work through the pain (thank god for giant bottles of motrin extra strength!), try to alter my movements...and maybe use the Hitachi for it's intended purpose!!
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.

    That sucks!
    I've been doing awesome staying on somewhat of a schedule..at least logging in every day for at least an hour. I'm only a couple hundred away from my move-out-of-this-hell-hole goal.
    Then..bam! Fucking horrendous cough out of nowhere. I've been stuffy, mucusy, coughing, and miserable for 3 days now..Very few people want to come into a cam room and hear "cough cough hack sniiiiiif ugh..yuck"
    >.<
    Even just a day or two here and there where the site would say "oh we'll give you x amount of your fees back" for sending in a legitimate reason to not be on would be awesome.

    That's the worst when you pull something. One day I was doing awesome on cam, then next thing I know I pulled a hamstring. Ughhh....it hurt like b*tch and had to log out immediately otherwise I would of just grimaced through my pain! I wasn't able to to do much camming on my normal site, but thankfully I could make it work on another site. Ughh... hugs and hope it gets better/heals real soon!

    Thanks! I actually tried to stick it out for a while, but I just kept wincing whenever I did anything...urgh!

    Luckily, it has not been too bad today, so I have been working my butt off! (Y'know, while being on SW...LOL)

    This is called the price of freedom you pay for not being a slave to a 'normal' job.

    Oh I know!!! I would rather take this one ANYDAY! Just one of those...ideal world moments.

    I'd love to be able to claim workers comp for injuries too...shame that that is off the table. Le sigh!

    Of course, I started thinking about it today, and realized that even in many vanilla jobs, sick pay is no longer the norm. Shift work (serving, bartending etc) usually you just have to get your shift covered, and get no actual compensation....retail etc works the same way. I'm not sure about all jobs, but it seems like any hourly paid job or comission based job is sick-time free....ugh!

    I wish that you could do something like EI....claim sick days from the government based on your usual salary....wishful thinking!!

    This is why it's probably a good idea to have videos/pics for sale so you can still make $ with out being live when you're sick, or even doing some pso stuff so all you have to do is talk...I believe I'm going to follow my own advice and make some clips, etc because I too have recently had some stuff happen and playing catch up.

    Yup.

    I totally understand what you're saying OP, and I wish we had sick time ... but at my ex "normal" job, I always felt guilty calling in sick and I would go to work anyway. At least when we're sick, we still can roll around on the bed all day Literally. LOL.
