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.

Do you work when your sick to save your sick days or do you always stay home?
