Called in "sick"

PinkPuffyHeart2 · April 2013

So I called in sick to work today but I'm not sick... I'm just exhausted...

I work four 10 hour days monthurs 7am to 6pm at an animal hispitsl. Tues and Wednesday were nightmarishly busy. I am lucky if I get a lunch break most days, because there's not a scheduled break. I just go when I can and sometimes that's never... I feel bad about not going in but my entire body aches and we are moving this weekend so I don't know when I will have a break.

Please tell me I'm not a schlep for doing this...

Edit: oh and also, I'm waking up almost every hour overnight now to pee or because I'm STARVING! I love this kid but it will be great when I can go back to being a normal functional human being.

I think you're fine, it's a mental health day. I'm like you, though...I feel guilty for calling in sick when I'm not really sick. I always worry that I'm going to get caught by the sick leave police or something.

Try to relax and enjoy your day!

Eh you gotta do what you gotta do, only you know if you abuse calling in or not. As a supervisor I'm side eyeing you a bit bc I know what a burden it creates in my dept when people call out. I tell people to schedule time off for long weekends to help avo

You deserve it. Don't question yourself. Just relax.

I feel bad but only because my job is so flipping busy. I do have an alternate that comes in today anyway so someone who knows what they are doing is there... But I guess I am sort of abusing the system since I'm not sick. Oh well. Screw that. I'm freakin

You should feel no guilt. I vote exhausted counts and a good excuse for calling in sick.

My work only gives us only 2 sick days (Where I live most people would get at least 5-10 in my type of work). So I end up going into work every time I'm

I called in too. I don't feel the best but I could make it through the day if I had to. Like you, I'm just exhausted and it's a prefect day to nap because it's raining.

PinkPuffyHeart2 · April 2013

Oh wow I'm not alone! That makes me feel better! Haha but sorry you guys are feeling exhausted and swollen too. I was having cramps earlier this week among some other symptoms and the on call dr told me it sounded like I was dehydrated so I need to drink
