I've missed a half day - went to the doctor and was told I had bronchitis. Laid around for about 3 hours, then worked from home the rest of the day. [Reply]
I missed 3 days for emergency gallbladder surgery. I probably missed 12 other days. So I'll say roughly 15. I have lots of issues with a couple of auto-immune diseases and with the meds I take for them. I also have a lot of doctor appointments which take me away from work too. I will always be above average due to the autoimmune diseases. [Reply]
I am a dumbass. I would feel guilty calling in sick when I am not sick. I did take 40 hours of family sick time when my father was sick just before he passed away.
Other than those 40 Hours of Family sick I have used a total of about 5 sick days in 33 years. [Reply]
Starting this New Years Day, I had the worst case of Flu I have ever had in my life. It literally shut me down for over a week. I had no strength, a massive head ache and a high fever. I just laid in bed the whole time. It absolutely sucked. Went to the Dr and they said take ibuprofen and Tylenol every 4-6 hours - there’s nothing we can do for you.
Before that, I had not missed any time from work in the last 3 years. [Reply]
