When I called in sick this morning, I just thought I was over-tired and had indigestion from too much spicy Thai food. But as I've largely been asleep the entire day, I really don't feel bad about it--clearly I needed the rest. I'd offered to come in to Bill, who said that I should just take the day off--it's pretty dead at the office.

Also, it's my first sick day since going permanent. Why am I defending myself?

Anyhow, spent most of the day asleep, would wake up and check in on Jeff (someone has to keep tabs on that guy), and then fall back asleep.

I'm mostly awake now and think I'm going to try to stay awake so that I'm not up all night.

I felt the same way - except, well, I was made permanent about a week and a half ago. But I have been doing nothing all day.

I think when I call in sick, I'm always dubious about it. Like, I'm not in the hospital--I could totally make it in. Especially when I've been away for the weekend.

But I was out cold most of the day. It'll be a better week for my having slept whatever this was off.

Yes! It's better to have 4 focused, healthy days than 2 not-so-focused days and three OK ones.

Totally, dude.

I hope you're feeling better, too :)

I'm mostly better, although I still have the stuffy nose, and the brain-dead. Hopefully tomorrow morning I'll be feeling much better.

Awww, I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I'd say that yes, when you pass out for an entire day, you NEEDED it. Besides, if you didn't take today off, you know you'd end up being out for a week with some Killer Death Bug that you got from refusing to rest and recover.

(I'm like you with not wanting to use the sick days, and what I've learned from that is - that just makes your boss come by, peer at you, and say "WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?!! Go home!" :) )

I'm really glad I took the day off. I feel better already and no point in going to work today and infecting everyone else.

I'm just glad it's not at the peak of a deadline or something!

(And I've gotten that scolding before, too!)
