Thanks yall. All I actually need to do is work at least 38 hours a week. I usually work 40 most of the time, but sometimes when I have a doctors appointment, I don't make up the time. That is what I'll have to change. My boss will let me work late on the days she works late to make up the time.
As for the whole days I miss when I'm sick, that will be a different story. I get a little bit of sick time, but not much. So any time I miss not covered by vacation or sick time is what counts against me. And I do need the money really bad. I just happen to get sick alot ( depression issues aside) and have to miss more days than I have sick time for. I got in trouble for this at my last job as well, which I think is why it upset me so much. I just find myself thinking, "Why can't I be like everyone else and just come to work everyday?"
I realize now my boss was just letting me know before my benifits got taken away. It just upsets me that I have to get written up for something I can't help (being sick). But hopefully making up the doctor's appointments will be the thing that brings it up that little bit that is needed.
Thanks for everyone's support!
