Do you go to school/college/work when you are sick?

Normally, I try to, but I feel like some days I just can't take it. If I've been keeping a good record for a month or so, then I may take the occasional day off if I'm sick. Funny you should ask now, because as of late I've contracted H1N1 and can't be back to work until Friday.

I rarely get sick and when I do it never lasts a couple of days, so I never had that problem:)

same here. I really never missed school and try not to be absent with my work. I just feel so guilty if I missed just one day, I would feel that a day of being absent is like been absent for a long time.
There was just one incident during my college years that I have to missed school for almost a month because I have been under operation for some ailment. But still I went to school though I am not yet allowed to walk around, I just sit on my chair and good thing my professors were able to understand my situation. They decided to just let me stay in one room, it's just them and the other classmates will adjust with the schedule.

I never miss a day to go out even when I'm sick, haha in school? depends..^_^

I just don't want to lay down on bed while I'm sick, It'll just make my illness worst^_^

I don't have work yet, so don't know if I'm still gonna work if I'm sick^_^

I think if you're sick with stuff like cold, flu, or any other airborne illness, STAY HOME! 2 or 3 days in bed won't be so bad, if you're otherwise good about being dependable at school/work... besides, some people (like me) have weak immune systems and just being near you (breathed on, let alone coughed or sneezed on) can get us sick. I get a respiratory virus of some sort (colds, RSV, bronchitis, etc.) several times a year, just from being out in public places like Wal-Mart, because other people can't be polite and stay home when they're sick.
And when I get sick, I don't just feel crummy for a day or two... I can hardly survive for a whole week. I got a cold at the beginning of this month, and STILL have a lingering cough.
Be considerate to the public, and don't make them suffer just because you want to be "perfect".

no i don't and well i am able to manage the left over too..

hi coolcat123,
Of course I am.
That was primary school.
I was forced by parent to go to school.
Because they though I am pretending.
Actually not.
When class started.
I laid my head on desk.
My teacher scolded me.
i cried.
I scared to told him.
I kept it secret.

Regards.

It depends on what the illness is. I try not to go to work or anywhere else if I might make others sick. I do work hard and try not to miss if it is only minor illness.

Hi!!
I used to love going to school and would always try not to miss my lessons and lectures even when I would not be well.Only once I skipped school for about 2 weeks as I was down with tuberculosis in my 9th standard and my entire class along with my class teacher came to meet me at my home to inquire about my recovery and hoping to get me back to school soon.I was really happy that dayto find that my teachers and classmates really liked me a lot. .As for my college it was too far from my place so sometimes it used to be tedious to go all the way long to college so I used to skip going to college even when I used to be well.M still a student so don't know about what will I do once I get a job.lol.

in my experience i rarely get sick, but when i got one, it was very serious or it will last for days or longer than a week, when i used to go to school i dont like being sick, because when i got back, im filled with lots of homeworks. now im working i also dont like being absents, no work no pay, hehehe but sometimes i fake one because it either im tired of doing the some thing over and over again or i got a date!, hehehe
