calling in sick
“Hello, Beth?â€Â
“Nadia! Where the hell are you? The boss is going bonkers!â€Â
“I’m calling in sick, Beth.Tell him that.â€Â
“It’s a little late, don’t you think? You’ve already missed two days. You’ll be lucky you don’t get fired.â€Â
“Let him fire me. I don’t care anymore. The job stinks anyway.â€Â
“What are you talking about? You love this job and you know it. You’d better get your ass back here soon.â€Â
“I need a full week. Three more days, Beth. Please? Cover for me?â€Â
There was silence for a moment, then Beth sighed.
“Okay, Nad. But you owe me. Big.â€Â
