Today, I've been diagnosed with a severe lung infection. This causes me to viciously hack up a lung every two minutes or so. Not only can I barely breathe as it is, my job requires lots of running around, cleaning and interacting with customers. I have a five-hour shift tonight. FML

To everyone saying I should have called in: unfortunately my work only provides about 3 sick days, which I used when I had my wisdom teeth removed. As for management, usually only one or two people are required to run the entire store (and of course, it was just me). They require much more notice and there was no one else available for the shift. Thank you to everyone with kind words and trust me, if I could have called in, I would have.

That sucks OP FYL. I have been in situations where my work would not allow me to take time off and I was sick and HAD to work. I hope you get to feeling better ASAP! As for people dogging her over her taking time off for wisdom teeth removal... Not everyone has the same experience. It all depends on where they are located and how your body reacts to the removal. I personally healed fast but my ex swelled up so badly he had 2 black eyes.

Because it's not like there are children missing fingers in China and they still work to help support their families. Jeez. The Western world mentality is ridiculous.

Many people don't have computer or internet. You're ridiculous for using it. You should be suffering as much as they are; am I following your train of thought right?

If you were coughing your lungs out every two seconds you'd be dead by now. My goodness, get the terminology correct

Read comment #64. It shows why OP can't call in sick.
