Help Me.

I'm so sick. I'm hot, my palms are itchy and clammy, I feel nauseated. I'm so sick of calling out of work, and in the past two months I have at least four times. I'm scheduled to close tonight, and I'm scared to call out again. I feel useless, and I think I should just put in my two week notice :[

What should I do? Any advice will help. Thanks girls.

i think that you feel that crappy you should call in. Cuz you do work around a lot of people and you don't wanna chance giving it to them, or one of them making yours worse. Your job should be understandable..and if they aren't you should get a new one! lol.. i know its a lot easier said than done..

i have the stupid stomach flu...and i'm scheduled til close tonight and tomorrow... and i think im calling in today...cuz i feel yucky =(

Sad

take a nice warm bath, put a cold rag on ur head, drink LOTS of water, and SLEEP. I cant stress sleep enough.. sleep sleep sleep. I had the flu when i was prego with Caitlyn.. and i slept it off and I'm SO GLAD i did.

And if you don't 100% have to have a job, I'd give notice.

I would but I don't have a bathtub. I have one of those showers where you can basically put soap on the walls and spin around. Haha.

I just don't know what to say to them.

I hate this. I know I have to call in but whenever I do, they act SO mad. A couple of times they were like "we really need you" and I explained that I'm really sick and I'm so sorry but I just couldn't do it, and they were like okay bye and hung up. Snobs :[

I completely understand where you're coming from. I hate to call in sick. I haven't done it often, but when I have I've always gotten the same reaction as you've gotten. It doesn't matter where it was, they have all reacted the same.

I called. Greg was the service manager at the time thank GOD, because if it were Ann or Tom, I would have gotten "ok bye".

I'm going to try to just rest and not go anywhere tonight.

I'm glad you were able to speak to someone with some compassion. Where do you work?

I was thinking about getting a second job there for a while. I thought it would be neat. (plus I'd love a discount) But, they seem like a store that could get by on fewer employees if needed. I think they are just on power trips and want to 'pretend' they have power over someone else. Rolling Eyes
