Sick day guilt?

I'll start by saying that I'm really, genuinely sick. I'm freezing cold, sweaty, nauseous, and ache-y all at the same time. So why do I feel guilty calling in sick today?

 

Re: Sick day guilt?

  • I don't know. I only feel guilty if I take a mental health day.

  • I have a sneaking suspicion my boss doesn't believe me. There's an Obama rally downtown tonight and I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm going to that.
  • Because you just came back from vacation yesterday? ?

    Don't feel guilty, you don't want to make everyone at work sick. ?Give them a call and go to sleep.?

    LOL... then I'd have other issues at my office.

  • I'm sorry!  I hope you feel better!

    I do the same thing.  I had to call in to go in late on Monday because I had to take my kittens to the vet.  My boss was still kinda b*tchy about it.  I was like, "Look, my cats their mom.  I'm not coming in until noon."

    I still felt bad.

    LOL. ?When I was applying for clerk positions I checked the attorney's memberships on Martindale. ?I left on some Republican info (Congressional internship, book research, etc.) only if it was obvious that they were Republicans.?

    You should have told them you were going to the gyno.  You said they give you the entire day off.

    That's actually really funny major... I actually do have a gyno appt. today. I haven't rescheduled it yet. I'm hoping I feel like a human before 2.

  • lol - do something you couldn't do if you were at work today - then you'll feel more justified!

     

  • dude, guilt is a useless emotion! don't even worry about it. i swear, i've had the plague for the last week. i called in sick tuesday. best thing i coulda done. don't even think twice about it.

    now go watch some price is right!

  • If you're like me you feel guilty b/c you could work if you had to. I always feel like a wimp when I take sick days. But you know you shouldn't work so you're doing the right thing. Ignore the emotions, enjoy your day off as much as you can. Sick & the gyno in the same day? that sucks! I hope you feel better soon!
  • I tend to feel like a whiny wimp when I call in sick, but sometimes you have to do it.  I felt like death warmed over on Monday so I took a sick day.  I slept all day...I would have been useless and miserable at work.  And I am still battling the bug.

    In the grand scheme of things it is just one day!

  • You would feel a lot more guilty if everyone in your office turned up sick. Someone tried to come in the office, with Pink Eye once. We made him leave.

  • You sound like you are getting the flu and as such, of course you should stay. Guilt won't make you feel better.

    I hope you feel better!!! 

  • I always feel guilty when I call in sick.  I did this two weeks ago where I was out for 2.5 days (had to go home after lunch the first day I was sick).  Sadly, I ended up working from home since I had so much crap to do.  No wonder I need Zicam to help me recover faster.
