Calling In Sick: I Can't Come to Work Today

Hi, Emma! You're calling early.

Hi, Tom. Sorry... I'm not feeling well today.

Oh no! What's wrong?

I've got a bad headache and a high temperature.

I'm afraid I can't come to work today.

Oh dear. When did it start?

Um, last night, after dinner. I didn't sleep at all.

Okay, don't worry. Your health comes first.

Thank you. I'm really sorry about this.

Have you called a doctor yet?

Not yet. The clinic opens at nine.

Wait... we have the meeting with Green Foods at ten.

Oh no, I forgot! The slides are on my laptop.

Hmm, that's a problem. Nobody else has them.

Well... I can send them to you now.

Can you? Are you sure you're okay?

Yes. It only takes five minutes.

Sam knows the project well. He can present them.

Good idea. Sam is very good with clients.

I'll email the slides and my notes to both of you.

Perfect. Thank you, Emma. That really helps.

No problem. Tell Sam to call me if he needs help.

No, no. Sam won't call you. You need to rest today.

Drink lots of water and go back to bed.

Ha, okay. That's the best plan I've heard all week.

Do you think you'll be back tomorrow?

Well, I hope so. I'll call you in the morning.

Great. Feel better soon, Emma!

Thanks, Tom. Bye!
