    Default I don't wanna go to school...

    If you're sick, do you go to school/work? I know some people who come to work sniffing and coughing all day, I think it's pretty gross. At the same time, I see some people who take the day off for a broken nail (slight exaggeration). Personally, I go to work when I'm feeling ill, but if I know I'm going to annoy people with constant sniffing and all that, then I just call in saying I'm too sick to work. If I'm actually ill in the digestive-system way, then I stay home, too.

    Along a similar line to BoB. If it's just feeling weak and flushed, I'll brave it out. If it's going to be a mission for me to last the day, I'll stay at home.

    I used to take any excuse to get off of school. If I just had a cold or a headache I wouldn't go; but I rarely get sick so that didn't happen.
    Though if I had meningitis-or something else highly contagious and deadly-I would make a point of making it into school.

    More often than not, I'll phone in sick if I'm not feeling too well. Unfortunately, this can cause certain members of staff to taunt me for weeks "because I'm a weak man who can't cope with a little bit of a cold". The way I see things is that if you're genuinely ill, you should take some time off work to recover (that is if you can afford to be off). When my workmates arrive with colds, coughs and other viruses, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. Plus, I'll probably catch the virus within a few days, thus causing even more work absences for my boss to have to cope with.

    Attenting work whilst ill = stupid.

    uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"

    It depends on how sick I am, how long I'll be working, what I'll be having to do, and when I last worked. But I'm rarely ever sick.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I stay home for fevers and infections(viruses, sinus infections, etc). I'll go to classes and/or work with a cold or bad allergies or headache, or whatever, depending on what's going on that day and how bad it is(if I have a <i>really</i> bad headache and sod all to do that day, I'll stay home).

    I definitely try to get out of it when I'm ill...

    ...and sometimes when I'm not.

    It depends upon the severty of the illness.
    If I have a cough or a cold i will go to work, but that is because i get over that sort of thing very quickly.
    Anything of a more serious nature will probably mean I am bed-ridden and thus unable to get to work even if I wanted to.

    I have to be incapacitatingly sick or contagious not to go to work. I save my sick days for hangovers and going to the beach.
