When to give up?

[Marcg868]

Well i'm posting from a hospital waiting room, as a family member is in intensive care. Now i was supposed to be in work tonight at 8 anf after numerous phone calls from 1850 i have not been able to get through despite phone calls every 15 mins.

Now i don't need the stress from worrying about work when a family memembers ill.

Now do i leave it till the morning? This is the same job, who moaned when i had kidney stones and was rushed into hospital.

Also said family member is terminally ill.

Just forget about work. Show them call logs for your attempted calls (presumably from a mobile) when you next go to work. Could you not leave an answer phone message?

I had an incident once where I couldnt go to work for an 8am start.
i called from 8pm onwards untill 10pm at night (when the manager goes of shift)
there was no answer phone, so i called again at 7am.
still no answer.
When I turned up to work the following day, I did get a bollockin but i showed them the call list, that i was infact trying to call them.
Everything was ok then... Keep the call list, and keep trying

Whats more important? Work or family?

Yep thats what I thought too.

Family..... You can always get another job if worst comes to worst. You cant fix regrets left at a hospital if worst comes to worst.

I'd have just texted a colleague after attempt #1. Preferably one trustworthy enough to pass on a message.

[Marcg868]

Text one of my work collegues to pass on the message in the end. Will ring again at 0500 in the mrning.

Applyng for other jobs as it is anyway, as i had enough of the place before this cropped up.

Apologise for asking a silly question, but jut quite stressed out tonight

Keep the chin up bud. Spend time with the family member and dont appologise to us lot.

We'll be here for advice, cheering up, and even the odd Knobcat whether you need it or not.
