So this week at work, I was only scheduled one shift. A guy offered up his "on-call" shift which was for this morning and I took it because I was desperate, hoping that they'd actually need me. Last night, during the membership class at the church Neil and I attend, I started to feel stuffed up. I was having a hard time breathing. We went to Neil's mom's house for her birthday celebration and my sniffles just kept getting worse. By the end of the night I was sneezing and had a sore throat. I woke up in the middle of the night about three times, and I took a shot of Nyquil at 5am. So I wake up and call Red Robin at 9.30 hoping that they won't need me. Granted, I live in Edwardsville which is a half hour from Fairview Heights...and at this point, I'm still in bed because I'm exhausted. Not only do they want me to come in, but they want me to be there at 10 am. My words are "that's impossible!" I explained to the manager that I was feeling like crap and she told me I didn't have to come in but I put her in a bind because they had two other people call off and I'm the on call and they needed me....
ugh! Of course, in my head, I was thinking that those other people who called off probably weren't even sick. Doesn't matter. I'm probably going to get "written up." whatever. It bothers me but there's nothing I can do about it. I didn't want to infect all of St Louis today.
