Seems to be all I do I had to work last night but felt so sick abd about a hour into it became pretty dizzy, so I went home I feel like my boss is upset with me know cause she hasn't texted me back after I text her last night and I also text her today apologizing for last night. I should have just kept workin

Try calling her - a call is better than a text, more professional

She's probably just busy. Good for you for texting her ... I'm sure she'll reply soon.

I don't think you should have kept working when you were sick. You made the right decision to go home; you didn't mess up.

Oh we always text each other , she doesnt mind.

I would think if she was a smart boss she would rather have you go home dizzy than stay and potentially fall at work incurring injury to self or others. Pretty simple decision. You did the right thing.IMO

You didn't mess up. If you are not well at work it is better for you to go home or see a doctor.

Your boss is possibly busy so don't worry about it. If she is upset then that is her issue not yours.

Did you leave her in a lurch? Do you call in sick often? If not, I would not worry about it.
