feeling bad after calling out on mother’s day

im a host at a local restaurant and i feel really sick, like bedridden today on mothers day. i called out really early to give them time to find cover but my manager got really mad and hung up on me.

i just feel really crappy and i feel even worse after all that. im 18 and this is my first restaurant job, is it really bad that i called out? we have the same amount of people working (usually we have a few more for really busy days), so i kind of assumed we just don’t get that busy on mother’s day.

im not sure if i’m just stressed because of being sick but i feel horrible. i’m trying to make myself feel better by thinking it was either this or being overworked while sick, but was it really bad for me to call out today? should i send an apology letter or something?
