Fever definitely. If you're constantly sneezing, coughing, using tissues, and generally a ball of germy grossness, then maybe work from home.

General congestion or symptoms that can be controlled by DayQuil? Get your butt to work.

I take it at least once or twice per client. Sick of working is a good enough excuse

You're overthinking it. No one will think you're lying. You clearly could have thought it was allergies and then started feeling worse. If you're sick, go home.

I took the day off as a sick day so I could work and get 10 hours ahead. My manager assumed I didn't work that day. No regrets

@OP, I billed the hours over other days. I had actually be working less than 7.5 on the client the days before as I had lots of billable work from my previous client spill over and take up my time. The sick day let me catch up on my current client and bought the few days before back up to a reasonable amount of hours for that client.

I thought I have allergy 🤧😪 and earlier today someone came by and asked after my allergy and I kind of nodded and played along with the allergy story ... but now I don't feel so hot I kind of want to go lay down😞 but if I take sick leave now people will find out I was lying about having allergy and think I am a liar and hate me and blame me if they get sick too 😔😫😭

😧 but you don't get credit for those 10 hours worked? and then they can't bill the client for those hours?

Thanks all, I went back to the office early today! I plan to sleep in and work from home tomorrow. Cause the skin on my nose hurts 😢 and my voice sounds ugly 😔 I don't know if any handsome guy on the street saw snots coming out of my nose 🤧💔

I don’t think that most people they find in the lake went in it willingly. Water makes it too easy to cover up murders. Washes away evidence. But it’s dismissed because most people they found had also been drinking. But people just disappearing miles away from the Lake don’t just fall in it. Yes, suicide happens. But many of these cases show zero signs of anything like that. The constant MO is being out with friends having fun. The friend vanishes. Then is found in the lake weeks later.

Hello! I’m currently a Administrative assistant now working at a major medical system in Baltimore.
