This isn't going to be a very long blog, but as I had an issue getting out of bed this morning, I just wanted to post a quick thought on calling into work.
Up until today, I never realized why sick people went to work despite whatever illness they have. I always thought, "If you're sick, you should just stay home and avoid giving someone else what you have!"
And even after getting little sleep and spending an hour in the bathroom waiting to vomit at 3am this morning, I was up after 7:30 and dragged myself to work -- bringing that annoing little influenza bug with me, exposing all of my co-workers and all of the lovely customers.
My only reason?
Gas prices went up and I need that poor excuse for an income to keep me from going completely broke.
I'm probably going to feel bad if anybody else I work with gets sick, but what am I supposed to do? I'm almost 18 and I shouldn't have to rely on anyone else (my mom) for money, and no one should expect me to have to ask them for money.
It's sad, really, that I have to worry about such things to the extent that I do.
I shouldn't have gone to work today.
