Well, a lot of coffee and hot tea and cough drops and kleenexes counts as medicine... right? but I ended up going in anyways. I called them, and I ended up just going in for my entire 6 hour shift and my leaders and the ETL/LOD even kept asking me if I was doing okay or if I wanted to go home and I just stuck it out. I kind of tried to get off my shift 30 minute early but the closing GSTL must of not of been aware. Called in for my shift the next day.Hope you're feeling better. Have you taken any medicine?
Let me tell you, working cashier with a bad head cold really sucks. I looked relatively normal besides my eyes being glassy and no one not part of management knew I was sick. But working with customers on a busy day truly sucks. The first day of a cold, my snot likes to get the viscosity of water and it will literally drain from my nose. I can barely talk with my throat being so irritated, and I can't forget to mention being congested to hell. I'm much better now, but only the first stage of my cold is over. Usually starts out with a sore throat for one day then it goes away, then really bad congestion/snot issues the next two days, then it cools off really fast. I'm about one day past that calm period. Next stage is sore throat for the next week and lots of coughing.
Can't wait lol.
I'm really worried about getting fired I have called off since last Friday.I have crohn's so I get sick from time to time. I called in today and I'm supposed to work tomorrow but I highly doubt I'll make it since I am still sick. Should I call them today and tell them I can't make it?? Or should I wait until tomorrow or should I just show up tomorrow even though I'm incredibly sick? I'm so scared of getting fired because I've called off everyday since Friday.
Get them a doctors note to put on file. if they ever go "he/she's been out a lot recently we might have to look into this." and they can pull up that file from an electronic data base and usually on their grids it should say "so and so called in sick for personal medical reasons" and it'd probably say "due to complications of crohn's disease." if you tell them.
