Do you call out sick from work?
As I have gotten older I have become so different. In the ways I think, act and even interact with people. I am still a child at heart- a Tom boy of sorts and fiercely independent and confident, but I also play by the rules so much more. We had a young tech call out from work the other day- we have a no call out policy so you have to find coverage- and it made me think how much I have changed. I would have to be very very very ill not to go to work. Bedsides the fact that I love what I do- I would not want to burden anyone with picking up one of my shifts or put fellow workers in the red. Gosh… I think it stinks that I am so responsible now these days, haha!
Do you call out from work...ever?

I barely ever call into work- mainly because I don’t want people to have to cover for me. There are a lot of times i have gone to work, though, where I was way too sick, which, when you are a personal trainer and have so much contact with people, isn’t a very good idea. I don’t think the clients appreciate it either, but I can hide it pretty well most of the time.

I work from home, and still don’t call off, haha.
I remember the last time I called off in the traditional job market (several years ago when I was working outside my home), I ended up going in three hours later because I couldn’t stand knowing a lady who’d worked all day was covering my night shift.
