And so today leaves me at home fending off those unwanted germs so detrimental to my well-being that are intent on invading my personal space. I won't have it!

A day of rest, one spent in peace without the stress and turmoil of normal days should do the trick.

I'm sure I'll be reprimanded on Monday in some form or another for not actually speaking to a supervisor. Let me explain: There used to be something called an "attendance line" the way it worked was if you were going to be late, were sick etc... you would call the attendance line which was automated, state your name, supervisor, floor, team and it would be updated on an intranet site. Therefore all your supervisor had to do was check the webpage to see why someone wasn't there.

Well that has all changed, apparently it facilitated too much abscence from work. Now you must (this is imperative) speak to a supervisor to announce why you won't be at work. However you would be hard pressed when you actually call in to get a supervisor. There used to be three, now they're down to two which is how it will remain as they're not replacing the other individual. So you're left having to leave a message, which personally I don't see a problem with. My opinion is no matter whether you leave a message, call an attendance line, or speak to a whole slew of management the fact remains that you're sick and staying at home! End of story
