I am the assistant to 2 guys. One is off for 2 weeks for his wedding starting tomorrow after work and the other’s wife is due to have their baby any day now, and will be taking a week off, no doubt overlapping the 1st guys holidays.
I want to make sure that I’m feeling okay next week.
Do I call in sick or suck it up?
ARGH!!
I rarely call in sick and always feel guilty when I do.
If you’re sick, stay home. You need to take care of yourself first off and if you are contagious this is one time that I’ll grant you a pass on sharing with others. Think about it this way, the guy whose wife is about to have a baby does not need to bring anything home with him right now.
Go back to bed. Drink plenty of juice. Make some chicken soup. Take meds. Get better.
You mean today? When the other guys are still there?? For god sake yes. For just the reason you mentioned; you’re going to need to be well to be there they days they aren’t. Here if this helps:
