[QUOTE="Alexis, post: 10377, member: 68"] I have been at my current job for just over four years. In that time I haven't ever called in sick except for when I was hospitalized with diabetes. I was in hospital for a week and then off for another week or so but then I went right back to work. I have went to work when I probably shouldn't have, with colds and flu where I would be almost high on painkillers. Before I went on holiday last week I had a bit of a cold, I went away and was fine for three days then started feeling rough but still continued doing what everyone else was doing as I didn't want to complain or be that person. Two days before I came home I got a cold sore, a bad one and had bad cold like symptoms. Right now I feel awful, I look awful and have had awful anxiety about having to phone in sick. I was dreading having to speak to my manager, it had me feeling like I wasn't being honest when I know I couldn't have worked. Thankfully a supervisor I get on with answered and was fine about it and whished me to get well soon and not to worry about it. Does anyone else have that anxiety or weird guilt when doing something like that. [/QUOTE]
