The problem I found was, when you trade, and work for yourself, and you call in sick, you know you're lying.
I gave myself a couple of warnings, even lowered my payout, but finally, I realized I was incorrigable, and had to let myself go.
And then, of course, anytime I apply for a job, I list myself as a reference, and tell my perspective employers I'm not reliable.
I tell ya, it's tough being me.
