I called in sick today

Posted by Deneb on November 11, 2010, at 9:56:48

I woke up with 5 minutes to spare today and took my 60 mg Prozac on an empty stomach. It was a really bad idea.

On my way to work I started getting really bad heartburn and felt nauseous. I had to take some heartburn medicine or something. It was bad so I went to work and promptly told them I couldn't work right then. Anyways, I needed a medical note.

I went to the walk-in clinic I usually go to, but discovered that they no longer take walk-ins at all now. They are appointment only.

So then I called work and told them I may not be able to get a medical note today and that I'll take some medicine and hopefully I can just take it to work late.

But then I still did not feel well so I called them again saying I was going to try another clinic and that I still didn't feel well enough to work.

So I just went to the other clinic. Ugh, I wish I could go home and take a lot of heartburn medicine or something, but I have to get this freaking medical note! Thankfully I was able to get an appointment with my doctor today for 2:20. I hope I can get a note and a flu shot while I'm there.

Anyways, I'm stuck waiting on campus right now for my appointment and I just bought some Rolaids.

I'll probably feel better soon. I wish I could have gone to work, but I didn't have any heartburn medicine with me and it was going to be torture for 7 hours.

I can't wait until I work evenings instead of day
shift so I actually have time to eat breakfast first. I think I just need to eat something before I take my Prozac.

What a stupid day. I hope I don't get into trouble at work. I think I sounded like an idiot, calling them 3 times with all these explanations and saying maybe I could come to work, then saying I couldn't yet. Argh.

It really doesn't look good to have to miss work during my 2nd week of work. I just feel awful about it. I'm still on probation right now for this new job.

Ugh. I'm going to take another Rolaids and maybe some Gravol.

Anyways, I learned my lesson I think.

What a stupid reason to miss work.
