i have a funny story related to this.

a few years ago, i got a really bad case of the flu. i kept calling out everyday for almost 2 weeks. i would just tell them that im still sick and that ill give them a call again in a few days. i finally got better and went back to work. about half way through the day, i got called into the office. they pretty much sat me down, and went on and on for about an hour about how they didnt think i was really sick and that im fired if i dont bring in a doctors note for the time that i missed. so finally they let me speak and asked if i was going to bring the note or not. i said "no, i wont, and you cant fire me for it". then my manager asked "why do you think i cant fire you for this?". my reply ... "because ive worked here close to a year, and you still haven't filed my health insurance papers, and god knows this job doesn't pay enough for me to go spend 75$ for a doctors visit. if you really want a note, then pay me 75$ from pretty cash and ill gladly go get one for you right now". .... amazingly enough ... i was not fired! hahahaha
