I hope I won't be declared as AWOL or Absence Without Official Leave

Tweet

Usually when I am being absent during working days I am informing my boss by sending him text messages that I won't be able to go in the office for some reason. Again I am always doing that ever since and contented that I am only sending that single text message to one person which is my boss. I know he is always receiving it even though he is not replying on my text messages. There were times that he even informed our Secretary that I was absent for some reason. There was a time that when I've sent him text messages that I can't be able to go in the office due to problems then he even asked the secretary if something happened to me since he have received my text messages indicating a problem. Last Wednesday I've decided not to go at work during that time due to the high temperature of my fever. I've already sent text messages to the boss in the morning around 9:00 to 10:00 am indicating that I will be absent during that time due to my heavy fever. Again since he is the person who is not really replying if not being asked then I am already expecting that he had already received my text messages about my absence. Then the next day I wasn't able to go to the office again, but then I've already sent another text message in the evening to my boss indicating that I can't be able to go to office on Friday or next day since I need to go to the hospital for the medical check up. Then yesterday which was Friday I already informed my officemate to switch the Saturday schedule since I need to rest for today to lower down my temperature. The secretary sent me text messages asking if I am still going to work since I wasn't able to inform our boss. I am thinking that our boss is asking if I am going to the work today which is Saturday since I haven't inform my boss on Friday itself that I won't be able to go at the office on Saturday but indeed it was just the officemate that I've informed. I replied to the secretary regarding about that. Surprisingly! that really made me shocked!!!!! the secretary sent me text messages again indicating that I was supposed to inform my boss himself at the first day of my absence because if not then that is what you called Absence without official leave or AWOL, and my boss thought that I have plans not to go at work forever! then it was also indicated that if I won't be able to go at work that could be okay. Another text message that I received was that I just only informed the other officemate just yesterday. So then that is the time I've decided to call and explain my side that I was able to sent text messages to our boss twice which was Wednesday morning and Thursday night. I asked the secretary if our boss hadn't really received my text messages that I've already informed him? Then the secretary told me that next time I should also informed the office as well or call them so that if in case that our boss hasn't receive any text messages or information then they will be the one who will inform our boss. Now I learned my lesson not to be contented to sent text messages just to only one person, and hoping that I didn't deleted the text messages that I've sent to my boss so that I would still have my evidence that I've informed him twice. Since I used to it that was the only thing I did. I am worrying now when I get back to office on Monday if what could be the result? And I am thinking if how could my boss will believe to my explanation if I can't even prove the evidences? I was so nervous to the possibility that will happen. I thinking if they thought I've already applied for another job and hired. As much as possible this is the thing that I am avoiding to do that is why I am careful with this matter of not informing them about my condition and the reason that I will be absent. I am not a type of person who wants to make missing in action and as much as possible if I want to resign then of course I still have the sense of decency to inform them that I will resign.
