What are your views about being sick at work? I have a scratchy throat and my nose is stuffy. It could be allergies, I just returned from a trip and it is dry and windy so it could be that. It also could be strep throat! either way, each of us has an idea about when we are sick and if we should go to work. Some are the power through it kind. I fall in this camp just take some allergy meds or cold meds and go to work. I have to have a pretty high fever to stay home. Co-workers hate this because they don’t want to get what I have and seeing me walk around makes them annoyed. There are others who stay home if the weather changes, just to make sure they are well. They annoy me because they are always “working from home” or not in at all so I can never get the things I need from them. Maybe if I had not coughed all over their keyboard they would not have gotten sick in the first place. whatever the case I think it is time I go home before I pass this to everyone or  cubicalville come after me with pitchforks!
