I gave her the number for our sister company
I woke up with the flu yesterday. My stomach was rumbling and my head was pounding, but I didn’t want to take off work. I got out of bed, took a shower, and waited for Mike to get up so I could say goodbye. He came out of the bedroom and rushed into the bathroom. Mike said he’d been throwing up half the evening, and I looked worse than he felt. I contacted the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C corporation and told them I couldn’t make it to work because I was unwell. All day, I was getting calls about other Heating, Ventilation, and A/C specialists who were out with the flu. The secretary told me that if one more Heating, Ventilation, and A/C specialist called off, she would need to rearrange the entire schedule and close the doors for the day. I told her she couldn’t do that, and that I’d be in when I felt a bit better. We had to have at least one Heating, Ventilation, and A/C worker on duty for the day. Mike took the phone and told the secretary to close the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C corporation if she had to because I wasn’t coming in. It wasn’t the first time the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C corporation owner would be out of the office, and it would not be the last. Mike told my secretary that she’d have to deal with things on her own, and make phone calls. There’d be someone on duty in a day or two, but until then, it was safer for the customers if they didn’t have sick Heating, Ventilation, and A/C specialists in their houses. I gave her the number for our sister corporation if there were any emergencies.
