Ugh

On days like today, the only thing that gets me into work is the knowledge that I haven't taken a sick day in my entire professional career. I haven't yet, so why start now?

Stop being so headstrong! The thing is, if you have something contagious, it's better for everyone else in your office if you'd stay at home so you're not spreading it around!

Anyways, hope you feel better.

I don't think I have anything contagious.

Plus there's the incentive that if I don't work I don't get paid. No sick days in my industry.

Can you work from home at this new job?

[lynxreign]

Not yet anyway.

We didn't get anything special for perfect attendance when I was a kid. There were years when I didn't miss a day though. By the time I was a junior in HS I was an absence machine. I probably only attended 1/3 of the days of my junior year. I wasn't sick, I just didn't go.

If you're going to do something, do it! Don't play around.
