I'm currently lying in bed with covid, ive managed to avoid it untill now, buts its got me, and Its floored me. The only place I could have caught it is in work,becuase the brainasuarases that I work with,put work ethic bullshit before their health or anyone elses, and have all struggled into work carrying this bloody awfull virus. ffs the company I work for is owned by Goldman Sachs, I cant believe how stupid these people are that they would risk the health of themselves and others for the sake of some of the richest people on the planet.
Even though that in itself is hugely annoying, the thing that's bothering me right now is that I need to phone in sick, I did yesterday, I need too again, I cant go to work like this, but I have some kind of screwed up internalized programmed work ethicbullshit that means that not only do I feel guilty for phoning in sick, but I'm also worried they wont believe that I am sick. I got told yesterday that'you can still come in if you have covid now, thers no rules anymore' which just feels like code for man up and come in. I'm sitting here procrastinating and dreading making this phone call, and I'm so annoyed about it. The thing is I've lost two days wages and I cant afford that at the moment, so I'm wondering whether I should just go in and struggle on anyway, I don't want to, I'm really Ill.
Fuck it, I'm phoning in sick and I'm going to sleep.
