I'd like to think I've got a good work ethic, but I'd call in sick as much as reasonable and use the allotted days. You keep a buffer for when you're really sick... but if they're offering you 10 days a year and you don't use it... think of all those long weekend you could have had. And it isn't like you can put a dollar value on your free time, especially if you have a home to care for and a kids to surprise... "Guess what, ya furry bastards? Mommy's home today!"
That kinda thing. The kinda thing I wish my parents had done once in a while instead of slaving away to the man for decades straight.
Also: don't take your funk to work. If it has you feeling bad, it could make somebody feel a lot worse. And nobody likes a runny nose.
