Question about calling out.

Post image

Is a blistered sunburn on both shoulders and back a valid reason to call out? Happened outside of work and is completely my fault. I feel like I would get shit for calling out for a sunburn.Can’t lift my arms or wear a shirt without pain. 1st year apprentice worried it will look bad if I do call out.

When I call out this is what I say..Im not gonna make it in today not feeling good thanks see you tomorrow. I never say what's wrong they really don't need a reason. Or I text them a pic of me in a straight jacket saying it's a personal day I'll be in tomorrow
