Antiwork

Let my boss know I’m sick with a fever 2 hours before my shift and haven’t heard back.

I work in a dental office. I do insurance. I’m the only one that does it and for the last month there hasn’t been much for me to do. I caught this office up on all the claims and past dues my first two weeks here. This office is pretty behind the times and still has thousands of paper charts dating back to the 90’s and since I’ve caught up the insurance they’ve had me just scanning the paper charts into digital ones. It’s been weeks of this all day every day. Basically if I’m not there it’s not like the office is going to fall apart. Also We use Slack in this office but the office manager always tell us to just text her because she doesn’t like slack. So last night I really wasn’t feeling well and at one point had a temp of 104. Fast forward to…

Fast forward to this morning at 6:45AM I’m still feeling awful so I shoot her a text like she has requested us to do just letting her know I’m not feeling well have a fever blah blah blah and It is now 8:40AM and the office is open . She hasn’t responded to my message or even acknowledged it all. I text a coworker that works closely with her just asking if I’m supposed to do anything else and she said no just a text is fine and that she’s sure she’ll see it. I haven’t been able to sleep since I haven’t heard back and on top of feeling like shit I’m now really anxious. I don’t even like this job lol and am currently looking for a new one but the thought of her thinking I NCNS is killing me.

Side note:
My second week there I unfortunately had to call out due to being e evacuated from my home by the fire department because of a gas leak that almost killed my bf, me and our dog. She was not super nice about that and acted like it wasn’t really that serious. But it has caused me to just feel like I can’t really talk to her. Especially if I need to call out. She always seems angry and annoyed anytime someone tries to talk to her. Idk I’m just nervous.
