Probably not the best post for those that pulled a sickie on Monday following the result on Sunday
But currently going through a pretty horrible cold. The usual stuffed nose, sore throat, chesty cough, croaky voice combo etc.
I personally never thought about taking sick leave for it. Just packed a couple of Lemsip Sachets, Halls extra strong methol sweets and a fuck load of tissues and got on with it. Stayed away from other people so not to spread it and got on with my work.
One of my mates in work said that I should have taken a couple of sick days and recovered. We get pretty good sick leave (5 days self diagnosis and anything after needing a doc note. Obviously dont take the piss). But I never felt like it was something I wanted to do. Then realised that in 10+ years I have never had a sick day.
So what are your opinions? Would you take a few days off with a cold/flu? I think food poisoning/ something more contagious its a given. Dont spread that shit around
Obviously this doesn't include those on long term sick and is not a thread to make light of that situation.
