I got bit by a fire ant yesterday. I tried taking benadryl and used tiger balm for the bad swelling and pain that I knew would occur because I'm allergic. Well, today I woke up to a baseball sized ankle and throbbing pain. I went to walgreens to grab a pain relief/numbing patch before work so I could squeeze it into my nonslip shoes….my ankle said fuck no. When I tried to call in my manager caught an attitude, exclaimed that I messed up her entire schedule, and let me know that I let her and the others down today.
I feel absolutely terrible, but at the same time I cannot legally work there without having nonslip shoes on. I'm not sure how to feel. Anyone care to share any stories about not being able to control your life and getting shit for it?
