Basically today we were short staffed as it was and our department are the ones who provide the servces that the department needs to run - Main Reception cover, HCC Switchboard cover, all incoming and outgoing mail done, typing, staffing stuff etc so i couldn't afford to take the day off.
I also haven't been off sick yet and do my best to make it to work - and let's face it if i didn't go to work today i couldn't go to the game tonight, and whilst i didn't intend on going i always had the option that i could go if i felt like it. Unfortunately i am even more fucked for going, but it's my own fault.
My boss offered to send me home, but i stayed in - but it's slightly more annoying that one girl who phoned in sick yesterday and today was seen shopping in town with her boyfriend at lunchtime which makes me angry cos whilst i felt like shit, kept contact with others in the dept very minimal and soldiered through the day she had pulled a sickie skyving - if she had been there i wouldn't have felt so bad going home, if you get what i mean?
i guess i kinda follow my dad in the work sense - i don't take a day ill unless i am nearly dying from it!
