Don't Want to Go to Work Tomorrow? Just Get Shot

I lived in some pretty shitty places, but none that I would think that getting shot is the best way to call out sick. One would imagine, that signals it's time to move to the city and go back to finish the G.E.D.

I have had some pretty shitty day jobs, but none that I would shoot myself to get some sick time off of. One would imagine, that signals it's time to look for a new job!
