Call in if you feel sick, no, not like that!

Ugh. Got an email saying that I'd called in four times in the last eight months (or so) of this field project, and that our client is annoyed about it. I am hesitant to call in sick, but the times that I have were because I felt unable to drive safely due to my own health or the weather conditions. Cue me, receiving a snotty email from my project manager using the phrase: “this work isn't for everybody…” Like, I'm committed to the work, but not if it puts me in danger of potential death or severe injury/illness. An inconvenience on their part does not constitute an emergency on mine. But I need the health insurance to cover my top surgery in a few weeks, so I'm shutting up.
