Will you go to work sick.  

Wow that very good to not have any sick days in 22 years. I no what you mean about not being able to produce well, for me it was hard to do the run. Plus when you feel ill you are not nearly as sharp as when you are well I agree. I managed , and I am sure I will tomorrow as well, hope I feel abit better by then. Just since I am working with the public, I have some worries of spreading it on. Even though I am sure I am past the contagiouse stage, I always worry. I also wash and wash my hands. Now I need lotion lol. Oh yea A big pill, think I will take a couple of those.

I know what you mean Darkwing, but the owners here do not work, in house. They do the catering, but would never cover a server or cook shift. they will let you work sick and not batt a eye. My only hope is that I am past the contagiouse part. I hate working knowing I could be spreading the germ around.
I do wash my hands often, so I can only hope that was enough.

Well if it had been yesterday, I do not think I could of done it, I was that sick. But last nite, I was able to keep some food down, felt abit better, thought I would be ok. But as the day went on, I just kept feeling ikier. I would of liked to call someone in, but sadly there just is no one. In fact they asked me to work a double shift, knowing I was sick and not feeling good. I declined of course, and that was because they forgot to cover a shift that this fellow asked off over 3 months ago. Sorry you had to work feeling rotten, no fun at all.

Oh my goodness, how aweful,well I have never had that worry. No one is bringing stuff to the hospital. But I did work once with a stint in for kidney stones, that was aweful too. I guess if we must ,we do. Glad you're able to stay home now, bet that took alot of stress out of your life.Becareful with that finger now.

I guess I feel abit like that as well, they depend on me. This has me kinda thrown because I do not get sick to often anymore, But when I do, it sure seems to hit me much harder now. Thanks teison, I hope I feel better tomorrow too.

When I worked at the nursing home, I never went there sick, and at most of my other jobs, there was at leaste someone I could call to come in, or the boss would send me home and find someone. This is really the 1st place where I felt I had no option but to go in.

That stinks, I hope you get to feeling better :)

Well for me it is not the CFF, when I was younger I suffered from that more lol. here is is just the way it is. Of course I do not like to loose the money, but if I am really sick. To heck with the money.

Well I wish I felt free enough to take the time off, because of course you are right, I worry that I could be spreading the germ around. Also that I am sure if I stayed home I may very well feel better then I do right now, having worked all day. *sigh* I suppose I better get to bed soon, so I do not feel aweful tomorrow as well.

I can do the work ok, maybe not as fast, but the job gets done. It is the infecting the world that concernes me. I am hoping I am not contagouse any more.

I agree shakeroo. When I first started working many moons ago, you were expected to show up when sick. These days it's not appreciated by your co-workers. And I know I don't like it when I am waited on, or checked out by someone sniffling, hacking or hewing.

That's right! I hate it when people try to run away from me when I am sick.

I have worked in a nursing home, did for almost 20 years, I liked the second shift, except when my kids got older I had to change to get with their schedule. but since they use temp pool workers out here, I never worreid about calling in sick, I never did then, didn't want to get the seniors sick.But in the line fo work I am in now, they do not have pool workers, well I think there is some sort of temp service like that, but I know my boss would not use that.
