I'm home today, taking a sick day. When I woke up this morning, I was feeling rather dizzy. That happens from time to time, possibly from being tired, though I'm not entirely sure. I do know that the feeling usually goes away by 11 or so. If I have no choice, it usually isn't so bad that I can't work at all, but it is very unpleasant. However, if I have a sick day available, I like to use it.

The funny thing about today was that since I was supposed to be at the same school I've been at most of the week, I decided to let them know directly instead of just calling the sub office. So I called and left a message on the secretary's voicemail (no one answered) and then I called and left a message on the voicemail at the sub office (no one answered there, either). In a little while, I started getting calls for new assignments. On the one hand, it meant that I had been taken off the original assignment. On the other hand, why was I getting calls for new assignments when I was supposed to be out sick?

At one point, about an hour after the school day started, the school secretary called, wondering where I was. Apparently, she had not gotten the message from the voicemail or from the sub office. I explained the matter, and then went back to lying down. The last phone call I got was for an assignment at that same school, starting at noon. Part of me wanted to take it, since I'd probably be past my dissiness by then (I am now). However, I didn't know how it would work with the fact that I had already taken a sick day for today.

I guess I should make sure the sub office knows I'm taking a sick day.
