[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 304360, member: 4653"] [b]Re: got cought playing hooky[/b] I think if you need the day just tell them you're sick. There is nothing they can do about it. As long as you call you can't be fired. I would have agreed with the prior posts had it not been for something I experienced. One night I just couldn't fall asleep. I got zero hours of sleep that night and and called the next morning explaining why I wouldn't be in. Apparently, safety wasn't an issue that day because my sup begged me to come in and gave the usual lie about taking work off. Well, it didn't work out that way. I was on area until 7 pm that night and I had to drive with the doors open and no heat (it was early March) just to help me stay alert. This is why I believe in just saying you're sick. I didn't that day and got talked into coming in, driving on 0 hours of sleep and risking my safety and the public's safety. Luckily, nobody got hurt. But I believe that day I was more of a danger than a drunk driver. I could literally feel myself noding off on the ride back. My opinion is, if you're going to be out, just say you're sick. And if you don't get any sleep the prior night, don't drive a commercial vehicle the next day! [/QUOTE]
