Energy Off & Unhygienic

Would you call out of work if your "energy is off"? Dangerous Dave talks about someone who did and if they approved the time off. Plus, unhygienic things we all do.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
He's deeper in the din with dangerous day. What do
you think your boss would say to this email? Somebody
who works in AI a startup, posted a screenshot on
Reddit after a gen Z intern called off work because
their energy felt a little off. It was a last
minute request or not even a request, just sort of
told the boss that this was happening. Quote feeling a

(00:21):
bit overwhelmed with all the work, my energy feels a
little off, so not getting that vibe. She said that
she'd be out July twenty eighth to the thirtieth, and
ended with we'll talk soon. By the twenty eighth was Monday,
so basically she took a super long weekend. So if
my energy feels off is a valid excuse for calling
out a work you could argue it's basically the same

(00:42):
as a mental health day. You could argue, zoomers, they
don't know how jobs work. The guy who posted it
titled that corporate world is not ready for gen Z,
but he did ultimately approve the request. So feeling a
little off, I've been a little off all my life.
Deeper in the day, you almost of us touch plenty
of nasty surfaces every day without washing our hands afterwards,

(01:05):
even after all the lessons we learned during the pandemic,
and we know it's gross. So somebody asked the Internet,
what's extremely unhygienic, but everybody does anyway. Some of the
best responses include touching sticky cottom and bottles at the
restaurant table, licking your fingers when you're counting money, or
turning pages tortilla and pulling it out of the bag
and putting on top of the package to keep it

(01:26):
off the countertop, But the outside of the packaging is
most likely worse than your counter. Eating while bowling. People
think the grossest thing about bowling is rental shoes. By
the way, it's not. It's the finger holes in the
bowling balls, scrolling through your phone on the toilet, other
things that are extremely unhygienic, but everybody does anyway. Not
washing your bedding enough or at all gross, putting your

(01:48):
filthy suitcase on your bed, wearing your outside shoes inside
your home, ice machines, Jim matts, people letting their cats
walk on the dining table and kitchen counters. And by
the way, lett is kind of a loose word. Most
of the time. You don't let them. But if you
own a cat, they've pretty much been everywhere in your house,
whether you know it or not. Sticky, grubby, unwashed hands

(02:08):
in a bigger bag of snacks being shared by multiple people.
This person targeted the source going anywhere when you're out
with people and you have a cold, the flu or covid.
And also somebody said buffets some of the things that
are unhygienic, but we do anyway. Now. It's funny. A
couple of years ago, everybody was cleaning and washing their
studios multiple times a day. Now it's two of us

(02:30):
in the studios that only do it every day. It's
Trevor and myself. I'm amazed at how everybody's forgotten about
what happened just four or five years ago to me.
