Sick Days

Published · Updated

Remember the days when you didn’t want to go to school so you tried to convince your parents that you were sick? Well, it didn’t work for me too often.  For the most part, my parents weren’t going to let me stay home unless I was running a fever.

Maybe that’s why a fever is still my official gauge of how sick I am. If I’m not running a fever, I’m working. Even then, it doesn’t always stop me…especially now that I work from home.

Today was one of those miserable days. I felt horrible, but forced myself to work anyway. That’s why tonight’s blog is dedicated to the “Top 5 Reasons I’d Rather Be Working than Laying at Home Sick”:

5. Hourly conference calls — way more entertaining than watching soap operas and lawyer commercials.

4. The constant stream of IM conversations throughout the day is just so energizing.

3. Gotta save those PTO days for something fun.

2. Sleeping late and getting enough rest is just so overrated.

…and the number one reason is:

1. I can take advantage of that computer monitor radiation and work on my tan.

    I always start to think that I’m going to enjoy a “sick day”… laying in bed all afternoon, watching whatever I want to on T.V., forgetting all of my responsibilities while I run a slight fever and cough my lungs out, but it never turns out that way. What usually ends up happening is I lay in bed watching lawyer and the “Power Chair” commercials until I feel worse than I did when I woke up in the morning.

    I hope you’re feeling better!
