I started working at this new job in the beginning of July. Since then, I have only been able to work 2 full works, and have missed over a week and a half of work, because I have been ill. Now, with August almost upon us, I have a surgery scheduled, and a few other plans coming in the next few weeks that will again interfere with the job. Not to mention, I am still sick and not feeling well.
I don't really have a problem with the job, but, on the same coin, I do not like it enough to really fight to keep my position there, because of my absence. They have been understanding of my illness, but now I can tell I am testing there patience.
What should I do? It would be a huge relief to simply not have to come in anymore, or call everyday, because of my illness.
Also, my income from this job is not essential to helping with medical bills or anything like this. It is more for financing my flying, which is on hold as long as the job is, because feeling good enough for work is not always good enough for flying.
After all of this illness and surgery is taken care of, I would like to return to the job, but when everything should be all taken care of, I will be heading back to my ****s, which will take up a lot of my time once again, and possibly stop me from going again.I need to know what the responsible thing to do here is.
Depends also on how hard you fought to get the job and how hard it would be to find a similar position paying the same.
However, I would probably quit out of consideration for my employers and fellow employees. I am sure they feel somewhat obligated to make allowances for your illness but are probably getting restless with running short shifts. Your fellow employees probably feel the same. I think it would be a big relief to them, and yourself.

eff them would they like to have your illness?i would say only quit if you know you can get another job.its your choice
Its not likely but ask if they can take you up on a later date. Legally you'd have to wait for atleast 2 months (i think) before your allowed to be paid for being off work due to sickness etc and there are union laws too in bigger companies.
Don't take advice from me, i'm just a guy on the internet who has never seen you except for your avatar, i can't tell whether its right for you at this point in your life to make a big decision like this. I hope you do the right thing though gd luck :)
Well, here's the deal. My boss is a very unstanding guy, and my position is only part time. Odds are, if I left now, I could probably return anywhere from in the next few months, until June of next year, and get back to working again.

Sounds like it's just a matter of courtesy to quit, and it will give you some peace of mind. I'd do it. It's good for all involved, and you won't tarnish your reputation with your employer should you choose to return or ask for a reference. In fact, he'll probably be pleased that you're doing the responsible thing. Just explain your reasons for quitting clearly, so that he doesn't feel that you were faking sick or something.
The best thing to do is simply: do not work. I have practised this policy over the years, and have enjoyed myself immensely. I am over twenty years old, and never without money.
Why quit? Unless they've hinted toward you being terminated for your illness, I'd stick with it especially when you get better and there is a job still waiting for you there. Don't cut yourself off at the knees before anyone else even tries to.
Quitting seems your best option. You aren't that invested in the job, can probably get it back if you want, and you really can't perform the job. Better to have a talk with your boss and explain why you're quitting. It's likely he'd hire you back at a later date. Otherwise, you'll run the risk of getting fired which won't have a fall back option. You said the job wasn't necessary. Plus, you'll no longer have to worry about calling off.
If you are ill and can't work, then you will be out due to surgery...don't you think you should be on temporary diability. Go to your local municple. Someone should be able to help you.
