Just got dumped. Have to work all day tomorrow and I'm dreading it, but I have no sick time. Wish it was professional to just tell my manager I feel like Bella in New Moon right now and I'm not in a fit state to be working other people's weddings.😭 If you've been through this, how did you get through it?
