Grrrrrrrr....

So I'm still sick...Getting better, but still in the bathroom a lot! (TMI, right?)

We had a "mandatory" meeting at work yesterday morning...I was also scheduled to work after the meeting. Well, I barely made it to the stupid meeting, if you know what I mean. I was looking really bad...As soon as I got there I told the 3 managers that I was still sick and could NOT work the shift after the meeting..I mean how could I?? So after the meeting, which was torture by the way, I tell another manager again that I cannot work..Now it's 25 minutes before we open. I left...Bus came right away and I went home.

Well, now people from work (who also saw me looking like death) are leaving me messages: "What happened to you? I heard you bounced out on your shift..What's up?"

Great.

The managers obviously didn't hear me say that I WON'T be able to work...yet I said it! You could take one look at me and see that I couldn't even hardly stand up since I hadn't eaten in 2 days. Yet they expected me to wait around to see if I could leave...Yeah right! I would've been stuck there in misery..There was no way I was staying. Now they think I just said fuck it and left and now I'm going to have to explain all of this to the GM, who was one of the managers I told I couldn't work!

All this drama for a food-running shift that would've made me about $50 at best..

I'm not saving lives, it's just fucking food...Wouldn't you want your sick employee to stay home and get better??

Guess not.

Uh, YEAH. You stay home and away from my food when you're sick, thank you very much!! How in the world did they expect you to work in that condition, and why would they *want* you there spreading germs??? Good Grief!

I hope you get to feeling better. There is no good time to be sick, but being sick with the kind of heat that is everywhere, well, it just seems to be much worse. Sorry for your "ickies," and I hope they vanish fast.
