19. Guilty as charged. Can't count the times I struggled into work not feeling well.

Sep 2016

Couldn't take a day off. Didn't dare. Fear of being replaced.

The only time I ever took a sick day was when my voice crapped out and I had nothing to speak with. Kinda hard to be on the radio when your voice isn't there.

We were talking about this the other day when the boys in the band came by. I said "I've had to work when I was sick." Our drummer piped up immediately - "that's exactly what my mom said."
