Howeve...You are ill - stay at home and get better.<br /><br />However you might want to keep the husky voice ;-)<br /><br />I used to get fed up with the martyrs who'd come in clearly too ill to be in the office but telling everyone how they just had to be there because their project/department/team etc. couldn't function without them. Really? Time for your boss to get rid of you then. Would be my thought... of course in the next few days the rest of the project/department/team would go down with the same thing and they'd all take a day or two off ... so you are helping by taking a day off, you are stopping others having to take a day off to recover from whatever you'd give them if you were there today...<br /><br />Look at that brilliant, faultless logicFurtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-6379068001994645132010-11-17T10:21:29.766+00:002010-11-17T10:21:29.766+00:00You're not being pathetic, I expect we all fee...You're not being pathetic, I expect we all feel the same. I know I worry all the time, what would happen to my children etc?? They have an evil step mother that doesn't want them around...<br />I don't know what the solution is, I'm not working yet...so am lucky but I'm trying to find things I can do from home. I'm so sorry you are in this situation, makes me so angry that this can be allowed to happen. Take care, I hope you are feeling better today.

Not surprising as I have been surrounded by germs.<br />Hope you feel better soon and don't worry..... better to nip an illness in the bud than to work through it and get really ill.

I used to think how nice it would be to take a sick day off once in awhile and just lounge on the couch all day, but then when I really did stay home because I was sick, I'd feel guilty and think of all the work piling up. But your co-workers will thank you for keeping those germs at home!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-9538841808413567712010-11-15T18:58:04.048+00:002010-11-15T18:58:04.048+00:00Absolo-bloody-lutely you did the right thing!

Don't mess with swollen glands, you're body is fighting something and you probably nipped it in the bud by doing the sensible thing for everyone, and staying home. Get well soon. xxReasonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070633072307321162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-64822020763476547872010-11-15T18:12:15.531+00:002010-11-15T18:12:15.531+00:00I absolutely know EXACTLY what you are feeling tod...I absolutely know EXACTLY what you are feeling today. I used to have just the same sort of ailment when I was a single parent... and would take a day off, knowing that I could probably have gone in to work and felt ok (and wouldnt have felt so damned guilty all day) Would also have been telling myself that I felt really bad, but was it quite bad enough to take a day off, etc etc. Same thoughts going round and round in head. Relief when the energy that suddenly left me totally, would come back again, unasked but so welcome.<br />I reckon that being a single parent is so SO knackering that our bodies just cant take it. We NEED that support system that other married/with partner people have. Just take care of yourself... support yourself wholeheartedly by eating well, getting lots of rest, and seeing your friends when you can.<br />In the meantime I send you all the hugs in the world... am sure the energy will come flooding back soon... it always does, but isn't it a pain when its just not there?!<br />(((((more hugs))))))Ladybird World Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410236464722005178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-14949613254592323622010-11-15T17:06:32.938+00:002010-11-15T17:06:32.938+00:00You're obviously pretty poorly and not up to n...You're obviously pretty poorly and not up to normal work, so I think you're perfectly entitled to take some time off to recover. If you keep on working when you're feeling rotten you'll probably just end up feeling rottener. Enjoy the time off and the blogging catch-up. And give yourself some little treats - like chocolate cake.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-2537000223132432932010-11-15T15:10:28.610+00:002010-11-15T15:10:28.610+00:00I say relax and enjoy it now you are settled at ho...I say relax and enjoy it now you are settled at home for the day!<br />I used to go in when I felt awful and no one was the least grateful to me for being a martyr.<br />Greetings and apologies for being absent so long!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964291132366262298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6009468722326751050.post-48947490100572558462010-11-15T14:20:26.136+00:002010-11-15T14:20:26.136+00:00I used to be one of those people who'd rush ba...I used to be one of those people who'd rush back to work before I was properly recovered and quickly found that not only do you not get any thanks but you merely end up spreading the illness around your workmates. So bugger work; stay home, get yourself better and don't feel guilty about it!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.com
