I was worried that your call was a actually a dream, so this doesn't seem so bad. imo better to be annoying than to no-call-no-show.

I was fully expecting OP to have dreamt it and no-showed at work.

Yeah, I just tapped on this notification because the title reminded me of a time I called out sick, and then settled back into my sweaty, feverish, nightmarish fugue, relieved I’d gotten that out of the way; the next day I discovered I only THOUGHT I’d called out. Accidentally pulled a no-call-no-show. I still cringe about it.

shit like this is why I call out the day before if I start feeling sick, including text messages my boss, and tell them if I feel better in the morning I'll make it in otherwise, don't expect me.
anytime they say text messages are not 'legitimate' way to call out, I just be like well it's documented that I sent it, and you reach out to me via text give me instructions so..

I always call in sick the night before because otherwise I might have to wake up early for no reason. Plus, that way my boss knows I'm not coming in as soon as she shows up to work at the ass-crack of dawn. I work at a daycare so knowing how many employees will be there is extremely important for legal reasons.

I can call out via email, in fact it’s preferred so we have written time stamped confirmation from both staffer and supervisor! And I will use “schedule send” in gmail the night before so I don’t have to wake up

That’s great if you start feeling sick the day before, but if you wake up feeling sick how were you supposed to have predicted the future?

I've called in sick twice in my life and I would not have the second time if my wife hadn't forced my hand knowing I was sicker than I believed I was (I thought I could do it sick because I work from home and wouldnt get anyone else sick)

In my case it WAS a dream so I had to keep trying over and over. Kept waking up to realize I had only dreamt calling. It was brutal. I FINALLY called for real. But it took many tries.
I also used to dream I got out of bed, got dressed, etc. Then I would wake up and have to do it all over again for real. Made Mondays suck doubly.

I’ve done the same on occasion. Usually I’m running late to work and as I’m walking in I wake up. I have to do the morning over again but I guess I’m on time now, so idk.

It sucks the worst when it is a bitter cold damp Monday. Who wants to do that multiple times!

When I was running heavy shifts that I wasn't used to (12+ hours) this would happen to me all the time. My wife would wake me up, I'd very groggily get dressed and then... My wife would wake me up again saying that I HAD to get up or I'd be late. I was on fact, not up or dressed, just dreamed it all.

Stuff like this happens to me all the time when I'm sleepy. I think I already sent that mail, but only thought I did. Well tbf most of that stuff happened back when I had to get up at 6am regularly. Anything before 10am is early for me. My brain just doesn't work before 8am.

I was thinking he actually called some random other number in his contacts and they were like wtf??
