Good evening, Christmas family
Tail is dragging a bit tonight. Today at about 1 p.m. I started developing a monster migraine. I tried being where it is dark and being quiet thinking it would subside. By 2:20 it was not any better so I decided to call work and tell them I didn't think I could work my shift like that. Now, I have to say I NEVER call off. In fact this is the first time I called them with an illness. Instead of telling me anything, the person I had spoken to asked if I could hold, which of course I said yes. They turned me over to the owner. He was very nice but explained that they are really far behind and are asking everyone to try to work their shifts. I know they are behind because I just had to put in 8 hours mandatory this past Friday.
Now, I understand the obligation they have and If I had a habit of calling off I would have expected this. But I dont call off. Of course, even though I was miserable, I told him I would take extra medication and get through my shift. (After all this was the OWNER). The whole thing has just upset me to no end. People aren't allowed to get sick ?? I came away feeling like I did something wrong and I feel as though I look like an idiot. Why did I need to be turned over to the CEO ?
I wish all a very Christmassy evenig. Maybe I won't be so sad tomorrow.......(((HUGS)))) xo
Does anyone here understand why I am upset ??
