It did confuse this parent at the beginning. I did explain to her the time I was sick and she was upset I took time off that there is no way I would expect my backup to work a full day. She knows now that I will close if I need a full day off. She does cover if I have an appointment or if I need to take my daughter to the doctor or go see her Christmas concert.

I do still feel bad for closing early on Friday just because I only gave two day's notice. I also just had 8 days off. Oh well. If anyone had a problem with it, nobody said anything this morning.
