Now you have to talk to scheduling.
I wonder why they do it that way... same deal with AA. You can CLEAR sick with a button push, but must talk to a human to get on the sick list.
I wonder if it's so you'll somehow feel guilty. Sometimes at AA you'll get a big sigh, rarely you'll get some griping, most often it's "OK" which is as it should be.
I got called in once to a CP office for "sick leave abuse." I had a row of prescription bottles with the dates on them, which solved that. But I'll never forget what he said, after I told him my kids bring home viruses from school, and I won't fly with a cold...
"You need to stay away from your kids when they are sick."
Really? My little girl needs a hug because she feels yucky, and I'm supposed to say "Stay away!! Sorry sweets. No hugs. I've got a Des Moines 2-day tomorrow. VERY important stuff for your dad."
