i haven't been very well this year and i've used up almost all my sick days. i think i can only take one more until after next april. i know as winter aproaches that i'll be sick again, everyone is at this time of year. i never take days off just for a bad cold, unlike some. i know that one more day and i'll face some kind of disciplinary action. but should i really face that and have it go on a record for a potential new employers reference or hand in my notice where they are not allowed to say anything bad about me?

I called the 1800 number on the back of the card last nite to find out what my balance was on the card and the recording said my payment was due on 9/19. I missed it because I work quite a bit and dont think I ever got a bill. Will this adversely affect my credit? I paid them a payment right away over the phone and she told me she would take the fee off my credit card bill. What does that mean?
