Reply to comment by dieforestmusic in TIFU by trying to call out sick: a fever dream saga. by DreyaNova
Yeah, I just tapped on this notification because the title reminded me of a time I called out sick, and then settled back into my sweaty, feverish, nightmarish fugue, relieved I’d gotten that out of the way; the next day I discovered I only THOUGHT I’d called out. Accidentally pulled a no-call-no-show. I still cringe about it.

shit like this is why I call out the day before if I start feeling sick, including text messages my boss, and tell them if I feel better in the morning I'll make it in otherwise, don't expect me.
anytime they say text messages are not 'legitimate' way to call out, I just be like well it's documented that I sent it, and you reach out to me via text give me instructions so..

I always call in sick the night before because otherwise I might have to wake up early for no reason. Plus, that way my boss knows I'm not coming in as soon as she shows up to work at the ass-crack of dawn. I work at a daycare so knowing how many employees will be there is extremely important for legal reasons.

I can call out via email, in fact it’s preferred so we have written time stamped confirmation from both staffer and supervisor! And I will use “schedule send” in gmail the night before so I don’t have to wake up

That’s great if you start feeling sick the day before, but if you wake up feeling sick how were you supposed to have predicted the future?

I've called in sick twice in my life and I would not have the second time if my wife hadn't forced my hand knowing I was sicker than I believed I was (I thought I could do it sick because I work from home and wouldnt get anyone else sick)
