Shouldn't you be allowed time off of work? It's only fOr a day or two right?

it's a small business and i'm assistant manager. so technically YES i should be allowed time off, however certain circumstances prevent me from getting time off. there are only two other people who are trained to cover my shift (as in opening/closing/keys to the store) but even if they take my shift they can't get the same work done that i can do. also today, both of my fellow employees that could possibly take my shift requested the day off in advance, and the owners of the shop are out of town. so basically if i don't show up then the store remains closed and that can't happen.

it's a candy shop. but it's not an ordinary candy shop it's like THE FUCKING CANDY SHOP.
candy is pouring off the walls basically anything and everything is in that place.
i love my job but stuff like this makes me hate it sometimes.

its not really just that. it's from stress, drinking/smoking and too much caffeine.

I can sympathize. Just think of it this way... it's only temporary pain and you will recover and be fine. Just your body's way of telling you to change some things.

Hope you start feeling better soon!

thaaaanks guys! i'm feeling better. but i believe it's just the temporary relief from pain due to a substantial amount of medication. either way i'm stoked that it doesn't hurt right now ha

Happened to me in grade nine when I was playing soccer 6 days a week, basketball 3 days a week, skiing 3-4 days a week and all the while trying to keep my grades up. I have never felt shittier in my entire life.

Hop you keep feeling better!

hope you feel better soon kate. sucks being in the hospital. i've spent enough time there these past few years that i know how much of a psychological toll it takes on you too. totally bums you out, especially when you see all of the sick and injured people around. i always found myself thinking 'we shouldn't be here. this isn't right. make us better and get us back out into the world'.

yeah being in there blows. its not a normal thing, i get really weirded out by anything that has to do with hospitals and people being "fixed" it's just a weird feeling knowing that something life-changing can go wrong but then some random dude with some tools can fix it. i don't know, sketches me out and makes me feel very awkward. but that's just me.
