Radio question for today: 06/28/05

Have you ever called in sick to work when not really ill?

Seiously....... ......not...

Of course, who wants to waste a perfectly good day being sick. I actually go to work when I'm sick.

Does hung over count as being sick?
If it doesn't, then yes, I have.

Sure I have

Yup.

I haven't for a long, long, time but I used to once a year or so in my younger days

I haven't at my current job yet. But at my last job I did a lot. I was just so unhappy with my boss, coworkers, everything! lol I considered it a "mental health" day!

Ahh, one of the bad things about being self employed...can't do it!

Nope!!!!!!!!!! In over three years, I had only called in 2 times... And I was DIEING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once in a while! At a previous job I had asked for a weekend off and didn't get it. The head boss was a cow but my supervisor was really nice. On the Friday she asked if I thought I was coming down with a cold (hint hint) Sure enough the next morning I wasn't feeling well and the head boss never knew

Years ago.

Nope!

Though I have been tempted occasionally, I have not ever actually done it.

my first summer job i called in twice, i think. i HATED that job and the pay was awful so i really didn't feel bad about it. the job i had the next couple of summers my boss was really cool and pretty much let me take a day off whenever. i tried not to take advantage of his flexibility, but considering the number of times he and 3 other guys from the office would take off early to play a round of golf i probably wouldn't have been missed.

Yes I have - but I havn't done it recently. I only did it on days that I had no work commitments, and when there were no deadlines to meet.

I then spent the day feeling so guilty - that it wasn't worth it anyway.

Yeppers...

I didn't call in sick though, I would make something up like having to meet a potential Landlord or something - then I didn't have to stay away from work!

yes I have

oh is that bad?

Yup! I feel guilty tho and usually wind up plugging in and working from home anyway.
