Men can't handle being sick!

Being ill... Ain't nobody got time for that! Especially if your my husband! Mat works 6 days a week at minimum 10 hour days with zero vacation or sick days. A Pipeliners vacation and sick days are when they are between a job. If one is sick, on death bed and has to see a doctor, the head welding forman on the job might let you take a day or two off. However, if you being sick falls on days where a bunch of people quit, don't show up for work, or in our case 75% of the workers are in Atoka while 15% of us are here in Prague, there is no one to fill in for you. Most Welders will not weld without a helper. So Mat has no choice but to suck it up and go to work. Thankfully he works for an awesome welder who could tell he was really sick and allowed him to stay in the truck most of the day and sleep. The other good thing is having a family doctor who knows us so well that he will call in some meds for us when the option of an after hours emergency clinic doesn't exist. Plus we all know how men get when they get sick... They are worse then a woman!
