I work for a small company that can't afford for me to quit, so they accommodate a day off for illness or random car trouble

Monday I was running a temperature of 102, doesn't sound like much but I felt like crap. I still went in (skilled labour, custom metal in rich peoples houses)
cause I wanted my co worker to have 1/2 way decent partner on deck. but we got over the main hump Monday so I took today off. I feel allot better for the rest and will be back on tomorrow.

I do feel lucky I work for a company who feels it's human assets have some value. at most I was sick for 3 weeks solid (so sick I went back to stay with MOM even !!) but I still had a job waiting for me. albeit a job without health care even today >_<

oh, we have no stated policy of how many sick days, no work no pay. but no specific ammount of days gets you fired though. I do get 2 weeks vacation and I could clame a sick day as one of my vacation days if I had to I spose.
