Calling In Sick
Hello, Daniel speaking, how may I help you?
Hi Daniel, Julie here.
Hi Julie, how are you?
Actually I’m feeling quite ill today.
Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. What’s wrong?
I think I’m coming down with the flu. I have a headache, a sore throat, a runny nose and I’m feeling slightly feverish.
I see..... so you’re calling in sick?
Yes. I was hoping to take the day off to recover.
Ok then. Try and get some rest.
