Off Sick With Tooth Ache

Post by rockypostie »

Hiya,i had to ring work this morning,because i had tooth ache and cudnt sleep at all last night!
Manager spoke to me like i was making up some crappy excuse. :no no
I really think its crap when you are honest and they think you are making it up!
How am i meant to work with no sleep? Thats what i was saying to him and he was like almost laffing at me!
What anoys me about the whole thing is i don't think i been sick for like 2 yrs and if i was making it up,i would do a better excuse than tooth ache! And theres loads of ppl in my office what use sick days like its holiday!
Thats my rant over!!

Get on a course of antibiotics straight away - its the infection thats causing the pain. Useful remedies: oil of cloves, mouth wash with scotch or vodka.

My other half, too. We've just got back from the dentist & he's had two teeth out so don't know if he'll make it in tomorrow.

They're all Dr Kildare and seem to know more than the experienced Consultants that are second only to God in a Hospital , they're very "knowledgeable " with their questions on BRF's to Don't give A Toss .

Little matter of H&S there , stupid juvenile macho nonsense .

Kidney Infection ? -just take Antibiotics you'll be allright , Brain Tumour take Ibrofen , screws tend to treat people as clones , Royal Fail =One Idea .

Loads of people have had that problem , My Dad's familly have a fear of Dentists , so one of them is now allergic to Asprin having taken so many tablets rather than go to one .

Where the hell is teebs with the dodgy,scary,funny dentist tooth thingy pic! :speak to the hand
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

A manager will never be on the sick with tooth ache for they do not have any feeling at all esp in their head!.
