A hang nail could cause me to phone in sick if I have something better to do.
I get 10 paid sick days a year, my employer recommends you use them regardless of illness if you need them for a mental health day or whatever.
I am a cyclist, the winter is approaching and I have saved most of my sick days for now so when the weather is good I can take off and get a good ride in and return to work the next day in a great mood.
Last year I used only 6 of the 10 days available. You can't carry them over or bank them or get paid out for them so I try and use them. But that does not mean I still don't feel a bit guilty staying home and watching the 'The Burbs' while eating chips and dip....
If I am truly sick I usually drag my ass into the office because if I am going to feel miserable, I might as well come into work and get shit done.
But I wake up with a sore throat, I am home on the couch.
