Dear Work
While I'm feeling as crappy as I do right now, I should NOT have to worry about getting a bollock!ng for calling in sick. Yes I know you're short staffed. Yes I know it's not long until I'm meant to be at work. Yes I know you might struggle to cover the shift.
BUT.
I couldn't care less, because I'm ILL. That's the thing that should be important.
And I hate you for making me feel guilty for something that I can't help!
But most of all, I hate you for the fact that I'm STILL going to work the shift despite all this because I know it's the residents that will suffer if I don't go, because you're all so incompetent that you don't have the foresight to consider that staff might get unexpectedly ill.
