Advice
As I have stated lately...I am working a temp job. Which means no sick time, and when I take a day off, I don't get paid. However I am considering taking Friday off. Why you ask? Well, right now out at the zoo, this week only through Saturday, there is a clinic set up. You can get your eyes checked, see a dentist and any other doctor....and not have insurance. Its all free. I could wait until Saturday but it would most likely take all day as I am sure there are alot of people who need to wait until that day. I would love to get the chance to see an eye doctor to make sure my retinas don't have a bunch of tears in them (although I am pretty damn sure they do) but they could take care of it....(follow ups are included) and I really should see a dentist. I don't have insurance right now and this could be really my only chance for awhile. I also am going to be spending Saturday with the Arabi Wrecking Krewe. I wouldn't be totally stupid to take a day without pay to go and do this would I?? Of course I have to make sure the girl who relives me for breaks will actually be here, she is out today. I would be dumb not to do this....right?

You need to go. Free medical care vs. work. While neither one is enjoyable you'll "make" more with the medical care than if you went to work.
I say go too. What it would cost you to pay for those services would be more than a day's work. Then take the rest of the day to get your resume out to a few places!
DO it-- seriously, the cost of those Dr visits is huge, and even with insurance (like my crappy insurance!) there are deductables and co-pays! Free is good!
Now, if you were perfectly healthy, I'd say it was up to you, but with the issues with your eyes, and not having dental, etc-- you totally need to go.
In fact, I'd call in sick tomorrow or thursday and go (that way they don't think you're taking a long weekend, and there might be less crowds)
OR--since they're not giving you a lot of work to do, go home sick "early" at lunch...
