I work part time at the local city's park and recreational office at the front desk. So I deal with people daily. I feel guilty calling in when I am sick like today. My tummy is not being friendly and I don't want to go to work to get worse. My co-worker that sits besides me has been dealing with some upper respiratory infection and was put on antibiotics on Fri. Also we have had kids in the building with infections at our day camps. Then I also deal with the older people too.
Then on top of that- I have advised them that I have to watch my stress level and blood pressure because that can cause a flare-up. I am not in remission nor do I think I ever will be. My co-worker is leaving and my immediate boss has started to eye me and I have told her no. There is no way- I can or should work more then I do because of my condition. I don't know how to make it any clearer to my boss that I have to be careful but I feel as if she thinks I am milking my condition.
