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.
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
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'm a he who has worked the same way since early adolescence where my mother chatted to neighbours for jobs they wanted doing and pitched me. Added caveat was she told me that if I didnt work like an animal, she would be disgraced and she would never vouch for me again. That worked.... and now I feel bad about taking off a me day 40 years later... lol
