I spend much of my work day wondering if it is allergies or a new cold. Working in a cube farm is second only to teaching in the germ sharing world. I was rarely sick before I took an office job, even though I was working retail.
When I get sick, I am lucky to be able to work from home. In January I had a nasty viral infection, I felt about 70% but was highly contagious. I talked to my manager and put in two days from home to keep my germs all to myself. I do not like calling in, but I really hate when people come to work with the flu, strep or other contagious illness. UGH!!
My husband is immuno compromised and I constantly worry when he tells me his co-workers have been at work sick. Luckily, since he has had this concern he has stayed pretty healthy.
I agree- STUPID AWARD!
