If you’re lucky enough not to have endometriosis, I can practically guarantee you know someone who has it, even if you don’t realise it. Even if THEY don’t realise it.
That was the situation I found myself in a few years ago when my 20yo cousin was working at Mamamia as an intern one day a week and was baffling me with how……well…….hopeless she seemed to be.
Not at the work. She was good at the work. When she was there to do it. And that was the problem. She seemed to be never there. Her work day was meant to be a Monday and one day out of every two or three she’d call in sick.
Mia chats to her cousin Syl on the latest episode of No Filter:
Everyone knows what a Monday sick day means, especially when you’re young. Partying. Right?
On the days she did make it she’d often have to leave early or she’d arrive late.
I was perplexed. She’d begged me for the opportunity to intern. And it was awkward. We had a long line of intern applications and she was taking a place that could be filled in a heartbeat by someone who would take it seriously and, you know, turn up.
