So if I want or need to take 1-2 days off a year without a certificate, I've earned it and my rep doesn't or shouldn't suffer.... especially if the day I choose is a low output period where I won't cause harm.
I worked at the start of my day a couple months back as a kidney stone was passing... extreme building pain that became incapacitating over two hours. So I excused myself to drive myself to hospital, and 7 hours later the staff scanned me and said it just passed from the kidney to the start of the bladder. They gave me a certificate for three days. I turned up the next night for work, and after a few hours notified me that the fine print said I MUST have 3 days off. So they bid me adieu and I drove back to the hospital, explained my case, and a super hot receptionist found another doctor to issue a new certificate, which I immediately brought back to work for my superiors. They were like HOW
I really need to do a sly sickie next work night.... I'm feeling it. I always get a certificate from Dr. Huolong... so as a consequence, I have all these non certificate required holly-sick days that I must use up or lose at the end of the financial year... which sucks... because I cone to work when I shouldn't medically.
