sick day
I hate taking sick days. I always feel guilty about taking them. I wish there was like a table that says if you are sick enough or if you are just being a wimp.
Update: I mean, if you think about it, unless you are actually dying in a hospital bed, you should be able to work, right? (depending to your line of work)
I know service positions like waiters, cooks and alike shouldn’t work even if they have a simple flu, but some do.
But what if you have something that might actually be annoying to the people around you… like a really bad case of sneezing or cough, something that would make you less focused and them too? Should you stay home for the greater good?
Or what if your condition is something that might cause embarassment, like diarrhea? I know I don’t like to work when I have to run to the potty every 20 minutes, and I have the chance to not get there fast enough in a public place, I just don’t feel comfortable – by the way, at home you can actually get a notebook and work from the bathroom! LOL.
