On Being Sick

When taking a sick day, you might think it will be great to lie in bed and process all the stuff skimming through your brain, but you will soon find your body decides sleep is better than think, and leaves you wondering what happened to the day. Also, sleeping in the day leads to sleeplessness at night, which leads to sleepiness the following day. Dogs taking over the bed for their own comfort do not help this situation. Nor do good books that you can't put down until you're done.

You should never return to work if not feeling completely better, especially if it's cold and wet outside and perfect for lying abed. However, if you stick it out until 11 and then go home, it doesn't count as an official sick day.

You should never post comments on other's blogs or anything on your own while ill. You're gonna regret it in a big way later.
