[QUOTE="Rawrzxor, post: 1432522, member: 51342"] So, last week I came down with something. I don't know what it is, but it really seems like strep throat. It's been 5 days already, and I've had a fever that whole time. Luckily, it hit me on Thursday and not last Monday. So, I've only missed 3 days, due to the weekend. Also unluckily, as my weekend was :censored:. -____-;; Though, I'm still feeling like crap, and am thinking about taking tomorrow off, as well. I'll know in the morning. I don't know for sure if I have strep, because I don't have health insurance and a doctors visit is $100 dollars. @_@ Thanks America. I've missed quite a few days recently, unrelated to sickness. Last month I broke my big toe (not at work) and could hardly walk on it, which took a week and a half to heal decently to where I could actually preform my job without squealing in pain. I had a fever of 101 today, which is why I didn't go in. If it is strep throat, I've read that it should resolve itself in 3-7 days, even if untreated, so I'm not going to waste $100 that I especially don't have now on a doctor visit My dad told me that since they don't have to pay me when I take off that they shouldn't really care. And, my full time sup doesn't seem to care at all. He's just like, "Yeah, alright, whatever. Come in when you feel better." Plus, I'm a really good worker. Like top 3 or top 5 in my area. I pop 400-500pph, doing like 350 when I'm taking it easy. I take great pride in that since I'm only 135 pounds.
