Dec. 6th, 2006 08:21 amWhat would you do?
I was sick yesterday (and the day before, but I actually took a day off yesterday) with mild flu symptoms - sniffles and stuffy head and achy achy body and fever. Last night sometime late my fever broke, I woke up drenched in sweat, and slept better for the rest of the night. This morning, no fever, so I figured I'd go to work. But I still feel pretty dizzy & stuffy-headed and so on. I got an email from my boss, saying "don't hesitate to take another day off if you need it." I have no meetings today, a very competent grad fellow is there to handle the office, and I have a fair amount of sick time stored up. My commute is an hour each way and I have my SRP to finish up.
What would you do? (I was going to make this a poll but I am too lazy)
a. take the sick day, get better, slack off
b. take the sick day, get better, do some work from home
c. go to work for a half-day
d. go to work anyway, you can do it
...
I hesitated, oh yes, but I have decided to take the day. One more day of rest for me - but this time I work on my SRP, for as long as my head will allow it.
