Went to work on Monday with a bit of a cold. I stayed home yesterday and today as I'm feeling pretty shit. I'm letting people at work down as I'm acting as a fire spotter for welders. They should be able to find somebody to stand in though. Bugger.

I’m letting people at work down

No, you're not. Your employer is letting everyone down by not having enough staff on hand to be able to cover for this.

Cheers Zag. Yeah they said they'll get another person to stand in for me. It's a huge company so it's not like I'm letting people down in the grand scheme of things. I just feel like I'm letting the small crew down that I was with.

As a higher up supervisor text yesterday, there's plenty of flu and Covid getting around right now.

I'm sure the world will keep on spinning.
