I called in sick for two different things at one of my jobs. The 1st time was because I had a sinus infection that was probably caused by my working environment & I was out for a week. The 2nd time was because I cut the bottom of my heel open at home by stepping on a axle for out laundry cart. I had to get stitches & I was on my feet the whole time I was working. I took off two weeks & two weeks was the maximum time I could miss without taking a leave of absence. I did enjoy my time off & I went to the movies the 2nd week from my 2nd time out but I really needed the time off for both those things. I worked pretty hard when I was working & averaging over 55 hours a week when I was allowed to make overtime & I was working overtime before & after both times I was out.

I have two, paid jobs and one, volunteer job, and, I have in fact, taken a day off, when I wasn't actually sick, due to experiencing the worst anxiety attack of my life, the previous day. That was slightly more than a year, ago. I have a two week paid vacation coming up, next month and I am very much, looking forward to it, to say the least, because I am extremely, tired and I need to rest. I will be traveling for most of that time, but, I think, simply taking time off, from the day to day grind, will help me recharge in multiple ways. Hi Kitty and Nick, by the way. Nick, I work approximately, 55 hours per week, as well. I hope your foot healed well, and your employer fixed whatever gave you the sinus infection!

My foot was fine a few weeks later. They fixed it. Things were screwed up because of a remodel. I think someone or a couple people talked to my manager & he quit pulling me off as much after I was back a couple days. He let me do the stuff I was supposed to be doing more which was better for my health. Thanx for your concern. That was years ago. i haven't worked sense 2008 & I'm on Social Security Disability now.
