On the Midwestern Work Ethic

[serinde]

I thought to myself, "I made it in yesterday." And I thought to myself, "Okay, admittedly, I was wobbly as hell and felt like I was going to fall down at a few points. And I could barely stay at the FCO outing, I was that tired. But I made it in. And I got stuff done." And I thought, "Sure, I feel a little wobblier this morning than I did when I got up yesterday, but I bet I could work the day through; I'm tough."

And I thought to myself, "I HAVE TWENTY SICK DAYS. This is what they are for. Stop being a Goddamn tool."

Especially while you're new there you might not want to be judged by the way one staggers through a workday when one is seriously under the weather. However, it sounds like you're on the mend now, so probably too late to go for the sick days this time around. Be good to yourself, lots of sleep and good food and vitamins and snuggles.
