When you are sick & contagious, do you go to work?

[Connie]

I'm sick

I have a horrible chest cold with that tickle in the back of your throat that you just can't get rid of.

I've already pulled 2 muscles in my side.

We do have alot of Purell around the office, so I'm trying to use that and not pick up any phone or use any computer that's not mine. I'm doing my best.

The reason why I'm here? I have a boss that's a _______ (fill in the blank). He also doesn't pay me for any time I take off.

All I want to do is go home, drink some hot tea and take a nap.

i would forgo the purel and ask your boss for a 1/2 hour of his/her time to discuss, i don't know, spreadsheets or something. make sure to cough and sneeze alot. maybe you'll be boss-less for friday!

[Connie]

Lysa, seriously, I'm usually not like this, but I was so mad yesterday that I went in and used his computer and mouse. He's just been such a jerk lately.

[LysaC]

hahahahaha... let's hope it's a fast moving virus and your friday will be boss-free .

hope you are feeling better too .

[nothintolose]

Connie - I hoped you sneezed or coughed into the hand you used the computer mouse with

[Connie]

I coughed about 6-7 times, waiting for the results.

I left at 12 today. Just couldn't take it anymore.

I'll let everybody know in a few days if it worked.

I'm not usually like this, but i'm miserable.

Spring can't come fast enough for me. This is the 4th cold i've had since the beginning of December.

"This is the 4th cold i've had since the beginning of December."

connie- been there- didn't like it. i got shingles (a resurgence of the chix pox virus) one year cuz i had cold after cold after cold. really brings you down physically & mentally.
