well, if you're sick you should stay home to get better
I always hated calling out at my old job because they bitched at you. Cunts.

The thing is, I rarely take time off even as leave and I'm up for promotion in the next little while
so I'm in I'm So Awesome You Should Completely Promote Me mode.

and I had my entire bank of desks essentially saying "Mal, you're sick, go home so we don't get it..." so they care as much about themselves as me!

Charming of them to bitch you out - it's your fault you're ill, of course?

You're lucky !
These women were unbelievably catty, vindictive, manipulative and two-faced.

I'm definitely not the best employee they ever had but there's no reason to treat people the way they did.
Cunts.

They've moved my desk around so now I'm on a bank with all girls.
Yesterday we spent 10 minutes extolling the posterial prowess of Mr Jon Bon Jovi.

I'm usually very conscientious but even though my head was pounding and I was coughing up phlegm I thought there were neon words saying "SKIVER" over my head :(

at least they were supportive !
I've been told "Well, you have to get someone to cover your shift. You'd BETTER have a doctor's note!" Bitches.

Whereas if I even sniff my boss asks if I need to go home!
I should really have gone when she asked this morning...

I find its best to take a day off if your feeling even a little unwell.
The rest nips the illness in the bud. going in makes you worse so you'll need more time off later.

My boss told me I should have taken yesterday off
as it came on over the weekend (probably from how cold the weather's got and the fact I refuse to stop wearing my thin silk corset coat). Now I think I've pushed it a bit :(

I know what you feel like
I had a sick day due to a car crash and felt guilty for letting others down.

I was more worried that as I was meant to be doing bank transfers
me being in a state where I feel shit would do more harm than good and I'd make a lot more mistakes, so better to have me off when I'm not at my best. I'll see how I feel tomorrow.

makes sense to me
I'll check OT for more information on this tomorrow

Eh, but I still feel guilty because I'm not *that* ill to me - it's just a really bad cold.
