Guilty
I couldn't remember the last time I called in sick to work and I'm really exhausted so I called in for tomorrow. Now this is something I've never done before, calling in the night before. First, let me say the lady working the night before is waaay nicer than the beeotch that answers the phone a 5 am. She's always so completely rude and not sympathetic at all that you're sick, or "sick" wink, wink. I later remembered that the last time I called in fake sick to work I blogged about it so I came over here to see exactly how long it'd been. Not that long, so now I feel kinda guilty, but not too guilty. Tomorrow was an extra shift. The third extra shift in as many weeks. I have a couple more things to blog about but am gonna save it for later when the girls aren't about to kill each other.

So let's review the bidding.
ReplyDeleteYou have worked extra shifts for the past two weeks. You already work 12 hours / day x 3 days in a row nursing sick people which is emotionally and physically tough work at best.
You are not calling in for your regularly scheduled shifts, you are calling to say you cannot work the extra shift. In my book the hospital is ahead two extra shifts from you in the past two weeks. No guilt is needed here.
Over the years I have learned that no one at your work will take care of you (even if they are a hospital or hospice). You must take care of yourself. You did.
So good on you..
Love ya tons,
