Well I'm off work with a Viral Infection - It is horrible - I go from feeling sick to that unpleasant D word! I feel so Listless too! I'm writing about it on here cos I need some help. The other day at work I got some naff news - nothing too major though- and then I threw up in the office. I came home and suddenly felt really drained in the car, then threw up again at Mum and dads house (sadly they now have the virus too!) Anyway I rang work to say I wouldnt be in the day after and the Manager was really off with me and said I needed a Doctors Certificate. As most of you know in the UK we have a self-cert which lasts for 7 days so I thought it odd that she asked me. Anyway I got in touch with my Doc and he said I had a Viral Infection and to tell my manager that a self -cert would suffice. I rang my Manager back and she asked me if it was because of this news I got. I was shocked and obviously said 'NO!' but then she got all funny and said she was really busy and had to go but to do the self-cert. I am really angry about this and I just can't get over the way I have been spoken to - The Manager has only been there since August and seemed to be upbeat but slowly I have noticed that when people can't do what she expects she takes it out personally on them. I'm really annoyed and just feel like telling her how I feel but obviously I'm trying to remain calm for various reasons. What shall I do? If I go into work I will just be sick and on the toilet all the time!
