Do you feel guilty?

When you call in sick when you are actually ill??
I'm poorly today so haven't gone in but as usual I feel a slight panic inside and guilt thinking I should be there!

    There was a report in the Daily Mail today saying that February 6th, or the equivalent first Monday of February is the day when most people call in sick.

    :confused:

    Should it not be feeling guilty when you call in sick when you're ok. If you're sick and you're not up to the job then you're better off in the house.

    on this morning they were saying it's the day we're most likely to take off sick or something.

    but no, i wouldn't feel bad if i pulled a sickie! only thing i'd feel bad about is my wages.

    yeah i know what you mean, i had to take thursday and friday off last week cos i couldnt walk but for some reason i still felt bad, maybe was because i took a bit of time off recently for interviews.....never pulled a sickie though, must be something wrong with me......

    i usually feel slightly guilty if i'm off ill, but that's usually cos the place falls apart without me for some reason :chin:

    i don't get paid when i'm sick either :no:

    don't worry ...
    the universe is unfolding exactly as it should be doing because ...life goes on ...within you and without you.
