Today, I called my boss and said, "I have been awake since 3 a.m. throwing up." He replied, "Great, see you at 9." and hung up. FML

At 9AM sharp, march into his office and vomit all over his desk. Then see how long he wants you to stay.

Saying you'd been puking since 3am could imply you'd been out drinking which you would still have to go to work, you should have made it clearer you were sick.

Sounds like something my boss would say. Your boss is a prick bastard. If I were you I'd show up and purposely throw up in his office, maybe he'd get the hint.

#6 and #10, they speak the truth! If the OP has a job where he speaks with the public either in person or on the phone, he CANNOT go in to work! If it is that type of job, then his boss is a dumbass. Do you know how hard it is to talk to a customer while holding back a gag or vomit? I've thrown up in a garbage can before while working at a sales counter because I came in sick. You think a customer wants to be exposed to that sight, sound and smell??? Quit that job. FYL.

Ugh I know the feeling OP. I had bronchitis and was told not to go to work while I was contagious, and when I tried to call in sick my boss told me to take some cold medicine and then she hung up. I just didn't come in. I don't think they can fire you if you have a legitimate excuse, and a doctor's permission.

suck it up and go to work. if your that bad go to the hospital

OP is obviously always making lame excuses and manager is fed up.
