How sick do you have to be to call in sick to your advertising job if you work remotely? I feel like if all I have to do is sit in front of the computer camera off I should at least show up if I can get out of bed.

Reminder that agencies don’t care about you and it’s important that you care about you. Just take the day.

Sick days are part of your compensation. You don’t feel well, take off.

Fun story: I knew a CD who came to work with an infection in his leg, fever, etc. because there was work to be done. Was with the agency for a long time, helped grow it, win business…and he was let go in favor of a new CD about 6 months later.

Yeah I wouldn't want to work with the guy with an open infected wound either, he needs mental help.

Oh man, no thank you.

Shouldn’t you be, you know, writing too?
Maybe you’re more talented than me, but even a headache takes most of the joy out of my writing.
A stomach bug that has my start stopping all day? All that’s going to be written on the page is “effff this”
But I imagine you’re not talking about your own theoretical, rather voicing your frustration about someone else taking their time away. To that I’d say mind your business.
