I've only called out for 2 & 4. Because it's too much work to have a substitute than to be here.
ReplyDeleteWhen it reached the point where I was off sick more than I was working, I quit and switched to freelancing. I didn't really have a choice; I was going to lose the job anyway because I missed so much work. Some of us simply can't handle 9-5, I guess.
