Boss messed up my late start so I’m thinking day off?

As usual in office environments, someone came in with a cold last week and boom it hit me on Friday. I did have social plans on Saturday but we’re cut short bc of being so crappy. But because of this I’d already asked for my shift to start later so I could get ready for work and not rush being ill and sleepy. But the work app has alerted me this morning that my shift started as usual, and I’m here thinking. Day off? I’m a snotty mucus ball of hate right now anyway, and I know it’s going to mess my probation up if I don’t come in. But what’s more important my health or my job? My team are severely understaffed as it is so I would be very surprised if I get fired for it but I’m trying to find any motivation to go in. Any tips…

My team are severely understaffed as it is so I would be very surprised if I get fired for it but I’m trying to find any motivation to go in. Any tips or advice will be welcome.

So if I’m gunna get crap for missing half a day? Why not make it a full one and get better?
