Today, I bring on a good friend who explains just how you can call in sick for work, and have NOBODY question it! Making that call is daunting to many people, whether you're genuinely sick or not. Listen on in to learn what you can do, and how you can call your employer and take a day off with ease!

Listen for these idioms here to get a good feel for talking about work culture!
We’re swamped! - We have too much work
What do you do for a living? - What's your job?
Find someone to cover for you - Find someone to work your shift when you cannot
How did you get into this line of work? - How did you get this job?
This job is a good fit for me / This job isn't a good fit for me - This job doesn't suit me
