I think...
....I'll be going to sleep for the next several days until this freaking cold passes, work be damned. The end.
Dear Boss,
I understand your frustration when I say I'm calling out sick. Really, I do. There's nothing worse than not having a closer for a department that doesn't get business.
But for the sake of your own reference, when you answer the phone and I tell you I'm sick and won't be making it in, the socially acceptable response isn't to sigh as though someone's told you a dog's vomited in your shoe. There's also no real call to say, 'Didn't you already ask off for the holidays or something, come on,' like I'm faking being sick in order to get a day off. As any other boss I've worked with knows, I show up on time every day and don't call out unless I really am not doing well or something else major come up. I'm not the sort of employee who calls out sick every other week, so kindly stop treating me as such.
In future, please refrain from being accusatory in conversations. It doesn't really make you look good and most people who work with you have said on more than one occasion they can't stand your guts. Have yourself a lovely day, and here's to hoping you eventually learn some social graces.
Yours,
The (Genuinely) Ill Seafood Clerk
