Yeah, I guess. I'm just the type of person who HATES calling in, and it makes me feel SO bad for everyone that it's going to put more work on. I know I can't help being sick, and I definitely don't want to spread this crap to anyone, but I keep feeling like maybe I should've just went in anyways and helped with CS all day or something. With me running a fever though, they probably would've just told me to go home I guess.

Lol easier said than done. I always feel bad about things like this. I hate calling in, and I hate that it always makes me feel unreliable. I know I can't help getting sick, especially having children who are in school, but it still makes me feel unreliable to call in because of it, or anything else. Calling in today literally made me feel so bad that I cried. I know it's stupid, but that's just how it made me feel. I went to the store today and got a bunch of that immune-c stuff and some cold eeze so that I can hopefully actually work my shift on Sunday.

Thanks. That makes me feel a lot better about calling in, definitely don't want to lose my job. The doctor did say to stay isolated while running a fever, but that it was okay to be around people and go to school/work if there was no fever. Since it's just a viral infection, and not COVID, no quarantine or isolation after I'm fever free for 24 hours. My symptoms are just exacerbated because I also have underlying medical conditions that always make viral illnesses worse than normal for me.

Well, this is my first time calling in, and I definitely will not be making it a habit, I didn't even want to call in this time even though I feel horrible. My ssv literally didn't say anything to me this morning except "why" after I told her I couldn't make it in, and then "okay" after I told her I was sick with a fever and would be back in for my next shift. I figured that she would have definitely told me at that time whether I would need a doctor's note to return to work, and since she didn't, I assumed that it wasn't necessary.
