I'm ok. Tomorrow morning I have to go in and talk to my boss at work about an incident that happened Saturday night.
I went into work Saturday night as usual and my co-worker was shocked that I was there. I inquired as to why and he told me that the shift manager told him I was sick. I called the shift manager at home and he told me that the Asst. Manager told him that I called earlier in the day and said that I wouldn't be in that night because I was sick.
The problem is I didn't make that call.
