I just got diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, but I have work tomorrow

I left work today because my feet have been hurting really bad to the point where I can’t put weight on them. I went to the doctor and they diagnosed me with plantar fasciitis, but I have work tomorrow. The doctor wrote me a note for an excuse, but how to do I tell my boss that? I’ve been at this company for only 2 months, and I want to communicate it effectively. Thank you.

is it even worth it for me to get a job right now?

for background, i’m 17 and just got let go from my food service job. i’m about to graduate high school and have two months of summer break until i go traveling to see family for all of august. then in mid september, im moving across the state for college. i’ve also completed enough GE to graduate within two years or less with a bachelors degree and don’t know where i’ll go from there. while i loved having a job to build up some savings, i realistically don’t need to scramble for a job for the two months i have left in my hometown since my parents are financially stable enough to confidently pay for my two year degree. they ensure me that i shouldn’t be stressing financially and that i have the entire rest of my life to work. i’m very grateful to be in a position where i don’t…

I got a raise I don’t think I was supposed to get.

Can I get in trouble for not disclosing this raise to my boss? Should I ask management about it?

I got a talking to for sitting in the chair one of my higher ups liked.

Yes. Just as the title states, today I got a talking to from my office manager for two things 1. shuffling papers too loudly and 2. sitting in an attorneys favorite chair in the lobby just before we went home on Friday. I am still dumbfounded that anyone could string together such a perfectly stupid sentence and then just say it out loud. Needless to say I am currently looking into other employment opportunities. To do anything less would mean a serious lack of self respect on my part.
