Do you miss your job when you can't work?

Leca @lecanis (16647) • Murfreesboro, Tennessee 2 Jul 07

I've been off work for a couple of weeks now because of illness, and it might be a while before I get to go back. I've had a lot of people telling me it must be nice to have a break, and it seems like every day I hear many people...

Did you take the day off work? It's "National Sickie Day!"

shywolf @shywolf (4514) • United States 5 Feb 07
