Sarah Palin Poetry Slam of the Day: "Dear Julian, Please Forgive Me"

Off topic, I could use a spot of advice.

I didn’t feel well today but ended up going into work anyways. This afternoon I texted my boss (who is the only one trained to fill in for me) a heads up that I wasn’t feeling well and, if I still felt sick tomorrow morning that I would be calling in.

She sent back a text that read:
“I’m sorry to hear that. Hope it gets better because I have multiple meetings tomorrow and in between need to get people in for interviews”

Is she simply saying she hopes I don’t have to call in and mess up her day or is she basically saying “f*** you, I don’t care how you feel, you need to work anyways”. To me, it feels like the latter but, feeling like crap, I don’t really trust my objectivity here.

When I ran into her later this afternoon, the only thing she said to me was “Get some rest” and kept walking.

(For the record, either way I’m kind of pissed - I’m a good employee. I show up early every day, do everything that’s asked of me, and I have never called in sick before in the 4 months I’ve worked there. In my opinion, any response to me calling in sick for the first time other than “okay, we’ve got you covered” is kind of BS.)
