writes:Not a relationship probelm I know, but I'm so annoyed with myself right now. I rang work yetserday to say I wont be in as the kids have this virus going about. She said thats fine and the office didn't need to know cuz I can make the day up this week (i only work 3 days a week and a saturday. 16 hours in all)I rang this morning to say no better but wanted to ask if I can go in earlier tomorrow and finish earlier and do that for the next 4 days which will make up for the last couple of days. The boss was away from the phone so the guy said he would get her to call me back. She hasn't and now i'm stressing. Why didn't I ring yesterday and say I would go in today at 6am til 10am. I thought about it, but wasn't sure if kids would go to school today (i'm taxi so cant do 6-10 school days only 10-2)so left it as it was. I could kick myself.I always do 6-10 saturdays and am usually home by the time they are just getting up. So could do that the rest of this week. If they are up in the night, they are usually asleep again between 4 and 9 this week. This bloody virus couldn't of come at a worse time. Ive only had the job 3 weeks, and I love it! GrrrrrrNow I dont know what to do. Do I ring again? Then I feel like i'm hassling them and i'm worried what they will say, they are probably busy, which makes me feel even worse!No wonder single parents dont bother working, its a joke when you have no family willing to help you out when kids are sick and you lose your job anyway!!Sorry, rant over...breathe! lolx Reply to this Question

hlskitten is verified as being by the original poster of the question Cheers hun. I did ring back in the end, couldn't wait any longer lol She was good as gold, I have 2 immediate bosses and thankfully the nicest one was in. She said sorry she had been busy, but was really good about it, and I can make the time up, when suits me, and was extreeeemely accomodating. So I am stressing for nothing! Its just I love the job and would hate to lose it. It seems the hours are very flexible which is a bonus! And because I will be making the time up, it wont affect my first 3 months trial i'm on.
Hope you get well soon. It must be a nightmare. After this week the last thing I will need is to catch the damn virus off them! That will be the icing on the cake lol

Don't be annoyed with yourself! (This coming from someone who has been annoyed with herself for being ill)
Hunny you cant help children's illness, Your mum and like me having to juggle you job around your children WHOOOO! STRESSFUL! Single mum and all..You have phoned and explained and asked about making up time yea, Your boss has not yet got back to you, So there it is the worry is all on your back..Just like this morning when after 4 days of feeling so bad I finally phone work as Its impossible for me to be there, My body is worn out with the worry of not been able to go and been ill..I should have phoned earlier! But no I get myself all worked up and angry because of what, Something I cannot help...I no how you feel sweetheart and grrrrrrrrrrrr! is putting it mildly...Give them another ring and just say, Just wanted to make sure you got my message and once you tell her yourself you will feel better for it...Believe me I wished I done it earlier, Its something out of your control and as a mother its frustrating but you are going to be there for the children no matter what eh!!!!!You take care of you hun, I hope this helped a little it certainly helped me when I saw your rant LOL (((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))) MANDY XXXXXXXXXXXX
