Calling in sick so I don’t miss son’s karate demonstration tonight. Is this a stupid reason to call in?
I work at 11am and don’t get out until 5pm but I’ll be one of the last to get out of work because the workers who go in at 7 and 8 will get out first, so I’m not guaranteed to get out right at 5pm. He has a karate demonstration tonight which will be at the park for town and country days. A bunch of people are going to be down there for different events, and my son is able to do a kata he’s learned all by himself to show to everyone at the park and I definitely don’t want to miss that. I called in because like I said, I’m not guaranteed to get out right at 5pm and I don’t want to miss it. He also has a baseball game tonight shortly after, and I don’t want to miss that either. Is it a stupid reason to call in to work because I don’t want to miss my son doing those things? I have lots of PTO saved up so I’ll be able to use that and get paid for today.
