Unless I have the flu or a stomach bug, I don't call in sick. I'm more likely to call in due to my son being sick than for my own illness. I worked in retail for so long I feel guilty for calling in; I've had some managers that you'd think I was asking for a kidney instead of one freaking day off.
I just started a new job a few months ago and I don't have any sort of leave at all. I can pretty much take time off if I need it, I just won't get paid. The good thing is I work from home, so if I'm feeling lousy I can still work if I absolutely need to, and I can work when my son is sick.
