I work at a nursing home, and I don't think I should be there if I am sick (seeing as I could get the old people sick) do you think I should try to get sent home early?  I can't call in because I am still on probation (until I work there 3 months) and it is too late to call in. I'm coughing like crazy, and cough syrup isn't helping to relieve that problem, and I can hardly breathe. :(

Maybe they'll let you get off early if you talk to them, because at least you put in the effort. misssmadejavuu Posted at 12:17 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 Quote: from vOlCoM 07 at 12:15 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 Damn, you wait til the last second. Well, I would just go in and tell them you think your sick... they'll either tell that ur sick then send u home then, or maybe u can be sent home early later. I didn't intentionally wait until the last second, I just woke up about 15 minutes ago. misssmadejavuu Posted at 12:16 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 Quote: from Kates04 at 12:15 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 Go get cough drops and one of those OTC inhalers. Try to get sent home early too. You don't want to kill the old peeps. I've already got cough drops and I can't buy anything else I haven't cashed my pay check yet, I was like this yesterday too, just not as bad as I am today. vOlCoM 07 Posted at 12:15 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 Damn, you wait til the last second.  Well, I would just go in and tell them you think your sick... they'll either tell that ur sick then send u home then, or maybe u can be sent home early later.                                                         Vicodin Posted at 12:15 pm on Dec. 28, 2008 Go get cough drops and one of those OTC inhalers.
