So yesterday I started feeling nauseous, and then around dinner time started getting soreness and chills. Was going to tough it out and go to work anyway because I don’t want to deal with “you need to get a covid test” (never have, don’t plan to) “or stay out of the office for 10 days per state rules” (I have stuff to do there next week).
After a shower got a wave of hot and nausea and Decided today would be miserable in the office and that id call in. What would you tell your boss in this situation? I already had food poisoning this summer so don’t want to lie about that. Was going to go with lack of sleep but was wondering if you guys had anything better?
Here's what I used to do. I would call in and start saying my stomach is upset and I don't know which end to put over the toilet. They tell me to stop talking and just stay home and away from them. It worked every time. :)
