So, my school believes if you are sick as a dog and can't come to work, you should be made to feel intimidated by talking to one of the AP's who answers the phone in the morning. They answer the phone, you tell them you're sick, and they make you feel like you're committing a crime for staying home with ((GASP)) a fever!! Chat Icon

Well, I just tried calling my school because I'm pretty sick today and it's quite clear that I will NOT be making it in today, possibly tomorrow too. I called in just now (7am) the time I usually call if I won't be making it in ... and nobody picked up. It's a staff development day so I have no idea if anyone will even be in the office until like 8 or so ..... There is no answering machine.

I have been awake a lot of the night and would love to try and fall asleep... but no... instead, I am sitting by the phone waiting to call in at a time somebody will actually pick up the phone! Chat Icon SUCH a stupid policy!
