    Ohhh, karma, karma. Well, I called in today but had a valid excuse. I was coughing up blood again. Guess that's what I get for even making this thread, lol. Well, at least the appointment with the GI doc is next week. We shall see what they say.

        Yeah, I appreciate that man. One thing I can say though is that I'm mister optimistic. I'm convinced that its nothing too serious and won't worry myself to death about it. But I will say that I won't make anymore threads like this in the future, lol.

            I'm in same boat...Makes things a lot simpler too, however my work doesn't allow rollover PTO - you have to use all of the hours alloted for the year otherwise you lose them.

            If this is your reason for calling in, you've got issues beyond saying.

              I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

                  Lol @ people saying they just don't feel like working. I'm just sitting here laughing trying to picture the conversation:

                  Boss: Hello
                  You: Hey Bob, I don't think I'm gonna be in today
                  Boss: Oh, why not?
                  You: Eh, I don't know, I just don't feel like it.
                  Boss: Oh ok, I'll see you tomorrow then.
                  You: Later man.

                  I don't think I've ever had a supervisor like that. Maybe I just haven't been working long enough to have a theory Y superior.

                    Yeah I guess it was a little tough to pick up, but I was being sarcastic when I said that. I have never been around a job where that'd be feasible. But I always like to imagine the exchange between me and my boss (if I were to use that excuse) would turn out exactly the way you put it.

                        I am that kind of supervisor...sort of. I have 54 employees under me but there are a few that every once in a while call me and say the EXACT same thing. "Hey chef, I'm not comin today...'oh what's goin on?' ..... "Just not feelin it today"......'Ok see you tomorrow then'. LOL

                        The thing is they know when to call in on me and I'm OK with it. They never call in on a position I can't cover or when we're super busy so I let em get away with it. Respect my needs and I give a little leeway.
