Hey everyone,

I need some advice.

I work 3 days a week and agreed to do some overtime this week on my days I don't work. I had a scratchy throat Monday and mentioned to a few co workers I wasn't feeling great. Tuesday I still wasn't but felt I could tackle my overtime shifts and be okay. We were told we were having a busy day on the Wednesday and I joked with a coworker that I might be ill tomorrow and laughed with her, well I got home and went to bed... and I woke up with the worst D&V to mankind to the point I ended up ruining my bedding and having to bin it. My husband is always like "power on you're fine" but this time he was like "I will have the kids you are ill and you need sleep" I had to call in on my non contracted days and cancel my overtime. I'm now worried that my manager is going to be fuming and think that I've lied to not do overtime. I'm a very honest person and I have never ever lied to my employer and if things go wrong I always admit my faults and my wrongs when it happens. It's really got me on edge. Am I worrying for no reason?

Life lesson- never joke about not coming. Sorry but if I was your manager I would definitely be thinking you pulled a fast one.
