I'm sure it's not nearly as bad as trying to give a presentation while you feel bad. I try not to go to work when I'm sick because I don't want to get anyone else sick. But, since I don't have a whole lot of sick/vacation time w/ my new job, I will either go in or work from home.</p> <p>I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-at-work#post-719939 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:38:00 +0000 DillonLion 719939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so ill yesterday but couldn't take the time off work. I slept under my desk during my lunch break. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-at-work#post-719936 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:37:04 +0000 .twist. 719936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always stay home. Luckily our work is really understanding and has an honor policy. If you're sick you're sick, don't come in. I think it helps that I work for a couple of germaphobes! </p> <p>Sorry you have to work! That is NEVER fun. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-at-work#post-719882 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 12:18:53 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 719882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so sick right now, but can't miss work because two of my classes are giving presentations all week, so I need to be here to grade them. Also, our nanny needs to attend a funeral out of town and needs time off for that, so I have to save my sick days. I hate working when I'm sick. If I had a desk job, it wouldn't be so bad, but I just cannot teach effectively when I can't breathe through my nose AT ALL.</p> <p>Do you work when your sick to save your sick days or do you always stay home? </p>
