When are you too sick to work or sick enough to call it a day early? Migraines knock me out pretty badly, but I can usually come into work a few hours until I give up & have to check out early :(

I was sick with strep & a really bad cold but I was still working. The doctor prescribed medication but I was allergic to the meds. Then I was sick for the next 4 days. I did not work after the 2nd day.

another flaw in my personality.... I rarely get sick, but I can remember years ago, before I had a team, having a fever and pneumonia....and working all day.... I had several subdivisions plus resale listings to service....never went into anyone's home for fear of making them sick, but I was in the office doing agreements and other work all day....

When you know you won't be able to drive home. Know it takes you "x" time to get home and if you think you can't stay awake too much longer than that, head home.

Since I have a home office, I rarely say I am too sick to work, unless I am just "too sick to work", then my office is my sofa!
