Yes, exactly!!! I do actually enjoy that part!! Maybe it's a little twisted, but it makes me feel like I'm taking care of myself or spending time on myself that I normally wouldn't. But when you're sick and you have to force yourself to just go through the motions and go to work and all that, it's just not good. Combine that with fever, headache, body aches, etc, and I'm not a happy camper.

Woke up today still feeling like poop, so I called in sick. I should have done so the last 2 days too, but I had to go in. I think one of the reasons I still feel sick is that I pushed myself too hard the last couple days. Hopefully I didn't get everyone there sick! I find it amazing that some workplaces still want you to come in when you're obviously contagious as all hell. Everyone was telling me that I looked like shit, but no one said to go home. On the other hand, they didn't seem that surprised when I called in today.

One time when my old boss was still there, I was so sick that I slept for a full 24 hours. I was in a NyQuil laden, drug induced sick coma and I only got up to go to the bathroom. I called in the following day, and my boss begged me to come in just to work on this one project. And I did!! What an idiot I was...I should have just put my foot down.
