Its Morning.
Oct. 3rd, 2008 09:31 amSo, I'm debating with myself as to whether to go in to work today, or call in sick. I don't feel totally awful at the moment, so I could conceivably get some actual work done. On the other hand, I know that, when I have a cold, I often feel best in the Morning. If this is the best I'm going to feel all day, I don't think I want to go to work.
There's also the fact that its Friday to think about. In one sense that's good. If I take today off, that's three days before I have to be able to think sufficiently well to get stuff done. On the other hand, Friday is the day I submit my time sheet. And, because of the work firewall I have to physically BE there to do it.
That means that if I don't go in to work today and submit my time sheet for the week, my pay will be delayed by a few days, three weeks from now. Maybe that isn't such a big deal, so long as I know in advance its gonna happen.
Hmmm. As I've been sitting here typing this, I've started to feel worse and worse, and my ability to think (which, after all, is what I'm paid for) seems to be rapidly draining away. I guess I'm going to call in sick, after all.
