Improper callout

My wife and I recently moved, and there's a decent amount of clutter we haven't quite finished cleaning.

Called work immediately to tell them what happened, and because it wasn't more than two hours before my shift started, I'm getting a writeup for an “improper callout”. I made sure I called out 5 hours in advance today because my hand is bleeding and I can still taste burning plastic on my tongue. I have the next two off, so…


My wife and I recently moved, and there's a decent amount of clutter we haven't quite finished cleaning.

I was driving home from a quick store run before work the other day, and a box of strike anywhere matches that I didn't know were there spontaneously combusted on the floor of the passenger side of my car. Obviously my fault, sure.

Now I have 3rd degree burns on 3 of my fingers from trying to put out a fire with a polyester hat while driving 70+ on the highway.

Called work immediately to tell them what happened, and because it wasn't more than two hours before my shift started, I'm getting a writeup for an “improper callout”.

I made sure I called out 5 hours in advance today because my hand is bleeding and I can still taste burning plastic on my tongue.

I have the next two off, so I'll sign your bullshit writeup on Sunday.
