Twelve plus years without using my sick leave (the days - equalling 13 a year - accumulate and are added to my length of service when figuring out my pension - sweet). I took one day off, and they read me the riot act.
Screw them.

Yep, 1 sick day equal no excellent rating for attendance on the performance appraisal. Most people in this place show up for work no matter how sick they are. In the last 10 years I've missed one day for knee surgery, one day for wisdom teeth removal and one day because I was just sick.

If I am sick with something potentially contagious, I stay home and rest. Drink hot tea and hot and sour soup, extra spicy.

My turn to ask, Kristin... what is "sour soup"?

SUCK IT UP.
I usually went to work unless the doctor ordered me to stay home.
I too feel like I'm getting the flu. Since I'm coming down with something I can't visit my mother until it's gone  I haven't been this tired, achey, and sniffly in a very long time.
