Re: Sick from work       11/29/08 04:15 PM Edit Reply Quote Karen1415 Reged: 07/04/08 Posts: 42 Consider the alternative to not calling in sick. I had two accidents at work; I went to work not feeling well because I was concerned about accruing too many sick days. Once was near the end of the day, so I just grabbed my things, told my supervisor and coworker I was ill and left. The most recent time was near noon, I had a deadline I could not miss. I drove to a gas station washed up and changed with clothes and towels I kept in my car and went back to work. Both times I was mortified mainly because I did not want anyone to know, and I was concerned about keeping my job if this condition did not resolve. Now I listen to my body more; both times I had severe cramping and would have been better if I had just hung out at the bathroom a little longer or better yet stayed home. I have also been more diligent about keeping a food journal to try to figure out the triggers. As Heather indicated in her book when she became sick on the train, not to let one incident characterize the whole trip, we pick ourselves up and go on.
