When do you consider yourself sick?

So this was just on my Facebook feed

When do you call in sick? Do you use all your sick days (use them or lose them)? Do you believe in "mental health days"?

I always used to hate getting sick cause I hated using my 10 paid sick days for laying around feeling like crap. Instead I liked using them when it was sunny out, I felt like sleeping in or I just didn't feel like sitting at my desk. My last job gave me 10 paid sick days every year and I never had one left over. Work was never the most important thing in my life (and it never will be). I've never let the guilt that management would try and push on me do anything other than give me a laugh and that will never change. Thoughts?


I love animals, food, beer, vacation, shopping and sunshine.
