I have the best Boss ever.
It was a 'nerves' day today, I kept thinking of the 'extra day of working.' The fellow worker where I worked with and is a leader in our section told me already this morning, "There is a 90% chance that the Boss will come ask you for a extra day." Yes, we are busy in our section, it's almost madness. To many orders for two working man I tell ya! Normally we have 3 or 4 people working in our section, but they are busy elsewhere. I didn't felt well today, just like the last 3 days I felt dizzy, pressure on my chest and a little stomach ache, the more I though about it, the worse it became. Thinking of the 'extra day,' made it even worse. The whole day I was planning ahead what to tell the Boss when she comes to ask me for a extra day of work, in the meanwhile I thought aswell, "Should I work tomorrow, or shall I refuse?" I should refuse, I'm not feeling well, I need rest.
But I did my work well, I actually did alot. There was a huge order and my leading man and I got the job done, it wasn't heavy work though, just little mats, though they were many little mats. After lunch I felt a bit better, strange... always after lunch I feel a bit better. I had many drinks with me today, one bottle of water, and 2 bottles of vitamin water. (Water with a taste, lol) I figured that alot to drink is good for my stomach. In the afternoon we switched our work to another order, this order was heavy. Meaning hasty and rough, but aswell precisely. These mats were 5 meters long and we had to add carpet in the mats, sigh, what a work. My leading worker is fast while working, I shouldn't even look at him while working, or try to keep up with him. No one can. This order we had almost the whole week, and we had more orders to do. Busy, busy, busy, madhouse.
I already decided in the afternoon that I won't be working that extra day tomorrow, I was done, I was exhausted, it's been enough today. I did my best and I can be proud of myself, but like I said... enough is enough. Still, the Boss didn't come for asking me to work the next day, but just a half hour before closing time Mark came from the office... Mark is a guy who plans the orders, and place the other workers in what section they have to work. He came up to me, and yeah, he asked me if I was willing to work tomorrow. I told him, "I wish I could, but I'm really done, I gave it all today." I had more to say but, he interrupt me and told me, "I can see it, it's okay, I know how it feels." Though I explained a bit further my story, that I felt not well this week, and that I'm, going for a blood sugar test tomorrw. Yeah, I felt pretty bad to refuse that 'extra day.' Worried to loose my job in the first place.
But some workers complimented me afterwards, "Brave from you to refuse," or "Thumbs up." Though I told them that I really had a nasty feeling about it, lol. But at the same time I felt relieved aswell, relieved that I didn't have to work tomorrow. My leading worker kept making jokes, lol, "I will see you tomorrow," he said. He was surely not that happy but secretly he understood my decision too. The silliest thing I did today? I called my Boss after I got home after work, lol. I called her personally to explain why I couldn't work tomorrow, explaining what was wrong with me this week. It was a good conversation, she was on her way home in the carand she really appreciate that I called. Ofcource she understood why I couldn't work, "Only you can describe how you feel, no one else," she told me. My Boss was happy that I called extra to explain things, I could always call her.
Though she asked me if I was able to work for a few hours tomorrow, probably I will after I did my blood sugar test, but I will see. I told her that if I come to work it will be a half day, (in the afternoon) but I'm not promising it. That was alright with her, "Atleast think about it, I totally understand if you decide not to come." Now, is that a good Boss or whatt? I worried about nothing, worried that I might loose my job if I refuse a extra day of work. I have the best Boss, and I worry to much.
