Grrr... I called In Sick
in Married Life
I did it this morning. I HATE calling in sick, I feel like such a slacker. But, this weekend I either had food poisoning or the stomach flu. Either way, I felt like death on Saturday. Yesterday, I felt a little better. DH and I decided to make a Target run last night, to get a few things for the week. But I ended up feeling dizzy while in the store. So we went home. This morning, I woke up stomach turning, and still feeling weak. Believe me, I sat on the toilet for a good ten minutes and debated about calling in (TMI, sorry). My deciding factor was, that since I work with infants, I better not expose them to whatever I have. Besides, if I felt dizzy walking through the isles at Target... I can't imagine how I would feel with several babies crying all at once and trying to meet all of their needs, while trying to control my GI issues. Anyway, thanks for letting me vent.
Re: Grrr... I called In Sick
I totally get how you feel. I work with cancer patients, so even a slight cold could be dangerous to expose them to (because of their low immune systems during chemo). I always used to feel the way that you do, but you can't be hard on yourself. Think of it this way, you are a good employee because you cared enough to call in sick. This shows your employer that you know your limits and that you understand how important it is to think of the children before yourself. So just relax at home for the day and I hope you feel better soon!
Like PP said, don't be so hard on yourself! You did the right thing!!!
Hope you feel better soon
