Meanwhile we put our dog down last week and nobody mourning her got any time to reflect at our jobs. How nice to be able to choose not to do your job when you feel like it. Animals are more important to your boss then the feelings of the human beings who make it possible for him to have a job? I'm sure he could have asked someone to prepare a statement on his behalf to release but he is busy making sure his needs are met. Your boss sounds like a child in a grown up's body. And the manipulation seems to be working if you feel bad for him instead of feeling slighted.

of co-workers is only permitted if initiated by a female....you're good to go. Men....DON"T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT !!!

No doubt you're the guy who's posted before about your " bullshit way of thinking"humans are more valuable than animals.
But that's fine, just keep your head up your ass.

Your comments are so sociopathic it's actually scary to read.
your dog is lucky to be rid of you.

When I had to put my dog down last year I would have been completely incapable of working that day. Luckily I didn’t have to but if I did, I’d have had to take a sick day because I was crying inconsolably. The grief that many people feel after the death of their dog can be very deep and traumatic. Have some compassion for a person who clearly feels more deeply than you do.

go to his office and give him something else, he'll be much more appreciative ;)
