Me today:
Bleh; I am definately under the weather today. I have had this cold forming for the last week; but now it also includes a fever and chills; one minute: freezing. Next minute: boiling. I felt bad calling in, but luckily I have a very understanding supervisor who saw how miserable I was yesterday trying to collect and blow my nose a hundred times.. it is veeery hard to stress the importance of a person's monthly payment on the phone while horking up snot..
I hate sick days! Usually the idea of a day at home is great; thinking of all I could get accomplished around the house.. but I don't feel like lifting a finger to do anything that requires effort (cleaning falls into that category..)
So you working or school-going people; what are your criteria for calling a day off? Mine are either a fever, migraine (I am useless on those days..) or a horrifically upset stomach that has ya running into the bathroom every 5 minutes (thank the stars that this is not happening now...)
