Called in sick this morning. Woke up feeling like crablegs with all the meat sucked out of them. I really bad wanted to go back to sleep, but I couldn't. I got up at 5am and tried to call in but nobody was answering the phone. Strange. Anyway, I kept trying to call and call and it would ring and ring....
WTF?
I kept calling and the more nobody answered the more nervous I got. I thought there must be something seriously wrong or the phone lines were down.
Finally, at about 7:05 (about the time I usually get down to the house) somebody answered the phone. Talked to the captain and told him I wasn't coming in. We're supposed to call in an hour before shift. I explained that I had been trying since five. He was mystified. My guess is, I'll get written up for calling in late.
No big deal.
Anywho, I think I'll go take a nap. I should have saved myself the aggravation and gone to work. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow.

(chlog) hopefully is not the sound you are making
Sick on your Friday? I smell bulls***!!! Just kidding, Rev, hope you get to feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI had some chicken soup, Loopy. And a bit of rest. Been sitting on my butt all day and it's driving me crazy. I'm not used to this.
ReplyDeleteBA- I wish it were my friday. Tomorrow is. But if I'm still feeling this bad I won't be in then, either. Feels like a deranged chiropractor is running up and down my spinal column beating things out of whack with a hammer.
My poor poor we Revvie. I hope you are feeling better tomorrow and suffer no aggro for calling in LATE.
