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

I'm going to do it, and I'll still feel ashamed tomorrow. This is some powerful psychological training in us....taking a day off without prior notification.... but I get 8 of those per year and another 15 days with doctors note, and I lose the note free days on my anniversary each year... retarded system.

The GM loves me for working with a kidney stone, my manager initially didn't want me but his boss did. Now the GM loves me as has my boss warmed to me, but the guy in the middle seems to have turned sour lately. It can't be because he pulled some strings in HR and saw my massively downgraded cv for the position... I only noted one related degree but omitted half a dozen... he just senses something... lol

He scowls at me.... he knows or senses something... but I don't want his job. I want to eventually move sideways into other aspects of the business.
