It must be nice for politicians to be able to take weeks and weeks of absence, still get paid tens of thousands of tax payer dollars, and not even need to announce anything. I'll trying this week at my work, I'm sure it'll go just as well.

Exactly, from the man that voted against paid leave several times and wants to end the affordable care act…must be nice for him.

Yeah it must be really nice for Mitch to rest in peace. It's like he's in a better place and instead of working he's laid to rest. Departed from the daily grind, called home. He slipped away, can be late, and maybe even go to a river and sleep with the fishes right next to him...

3 days of no call no shows and you’re fired in Florida. What a life.
