Ok I need to have a rant! My son (2 1/2) is ill. He has been ill since Saturday. I thought he was getting better yesterday so I called into work said look he needs one more day home so I need to be here with him. I got a not warm invitation but a begrudging ok. When I went to make my son up this morning he was burning up with fever and all over poorly. I made a Dr's appointment and called work at 0830 to let them know, he is really poorly. They tell me if I don't come in and get some work to do at home (this is what really killed me) "because I was doing nothing all day." I would have to take the day without pay. I asked if I could use it as holiday and they said no either work or no pay. So I had to take my very ill and very contagious son out to work (I told him to breath on everyone) to pick up work so I can do it at home. I guess what really gets me is that there is no set standard each department handles it in their own way and since noone else in my department has any children there is just no compassion. I am still seething about the sitting at home doing nothing all day AS IF!!!
