Right now I'm kind of sick and I'd rather be at school than feeling miserable at home. Making up work is no fun. The good news is: More Progarchives today! ------------- Once upon a time there was some writing on the wall we all ignored, until the time that there was war and feasts of famine at our door |

If I'm barely sick (like with a cold) I'd still go to school and work. I have gone to work sick many times. Being in bed doesn't pay... But if I'm really feeling terrible, like with a high fever, school and work can be left aside. My health comes first. -------------

I still go to classes and stuff if I feel like sh*t, the only time I won’t go is if I’m vomiting either late the night before or the morning of. -------------

| If I haven't got a class where the attendance is mandatory, I usually stay at home if I'm sick and/or feel like crap. |

I love class. I'd much rather be there. I love tutoring I'd much rather be there. Teaching is okay. Would probably rather stay home. EDIT: Oh you meant be home sick or be at school or work. In that case I would much rather be at school or work, even if teaching. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

| I still don't know - is the choice be home sick or be at work/school healthy? or be sick in both instances? |

I think it's work/school healthy vs at home sick. It's a bit confusing. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

| This is actually an incredibly hard question. I hate being sick, and I hate going to school. But I guess I'll go with school. |

| Oh, ok. I guess you really have to hate work/school to choose the home sick option. I'd rather be healthy than sick, lol. |

It would depend: sick at home... if I had a fiancee who would agree to call in sick at her work and spend the day with me... Healthy at work... if two or three women at work could be more... clear? direct? frank? |

I'd definitely take going to work over being sick, class on the other hand....I don't know. ------------- Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell? I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance. |

If it's really bad I'll want to stay home. It's better to pray to the porcelain god at home than shatter peoples' perceptions of me as someone who does not drink himself into the most horrible hangover you never had in yer life on a Thursday night. That was an awesome sentence. And a true story. But just feeling meh and stuffy nose and whatever? Down a bottle of NyQuil and get a pocketful of lozenges and deal with it. Plus having your head feel like a cotton ball drenched in Mountain Dew is great if you work in costumer service. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

Sick people who are "brave little soldiers" that struggle into work no matter how ill they are should be instantly dismissed and be prosecuted for physical assault on their work colleagues if the infect anyone in doing so. It is an act of irresponsible stupidity and I have no sympathy for anyone who turns up for work with a heavy cold, or worse still, 'flu, especially if they give it to me. ------------- What? |

^ In my case, I'm a part-time for now so if I don't go to work and call out I don't get paid (unlike full-time employees). But I agree that if one has a virus, is even worse for the company to have you in there and suffer generalized contagion... -------------

Exactly.
Don't know how I'd answer the poll...but I do hate when people go to class/work when they obviously should be at home. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

I grew up being taught that a cold is not sufficient reason to stay home from school or work. But as I get older I find that colds hit me harder, and I do end up having to take a sick day when it reaches its peak. ------------- "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." -- H.L.

I've never been sick with anything contagious so far at work, but I do have a chronic illness that gives me a couple of bad days a year, and I stay home on those occasions. No need to go to work and vomit there while I can do that at home and crawl back into bed. Everything else (flu, etc) I would normally just suck it up and go to work, but people do have a valid point about spreading germs. |

It depends.
If I have something important at school going on, then I usually rough it out. (I rarely get sick and when I do, it's usually half a day, a day at most).

I never call in sick. I would have to be literally unable to walk to do so. Cold's are easy. Stop being wusses.
