I'm getting sick. Why? Because some people are stupid and come to work with colds and other illnesses. Not only does it set a bad precendent, it gets everyone else sick. Half my group is out today, thanks to our Typhoid Laurie. Hurrah!

I'm so angry about it. It's incredibly thoughtless and irresponsible behaviour to bring your contagious ass into work. Stay the hell home. Now everyone's sick and we're slammed with work. The worst part is she's proud of herself.

Must make it through the day!

it's a 2-sided issue. on one hand, there's social pressure to not bring in a disease that can infect everyone. on the other hand, there is management pressure not to be a whiner and stay home with every sniffle. since a cold can last a week, who can take a week off every time they get a cold? i dunno. i can see both sides, as usual.

as for me, i'm doomed regardless. my kids go to school, so they bring everything home anyway.

Going to work while you're sick is really awful, obviously she felt as though she had to or she wouldn't have come. Aren't you going to work sick now as well? :p
