Call work and tell them that you are calling in well . . . tell them that you have been sick every day that you have been there and today you feel good and you don't want to waste it on going to work . . .
Hey, it's me . . . I am "Calling in well . . ." , I have been sick every day that I have worked there but I feel good today and I can't find a reason to mess it up by coming to work . . see you tomorrow . . .
Used to describe a situation or individual who cannot or refuses to see the big picture because of being sheltered and/or closed minded. This is the opposite of a frog in a field.
You have no idea what skills are required, as you have been a frog in a well for the last 30 years, stuck in the same old job with the same old skills. I have been a frog in a field jumping from job to job learning a vast amount of skills you have no idea about.
