That constant refrain

[alias_sqbr]

I just had a train of thought I have pretty much every time I take a sick day:

Man, I don't feel that sick, maybe I could have gone in to work after all. I suck.
Hmm. Hungry. Out of food¹. Maybe I should wander to the corner shop to get some supplies.
Hmmm...no. Don't have the energy. Have to stay hungry.
Maybe I could watch some dvds.
Actually... no, that's too much effort too.
*fall asleep²*
*wake up, repeat*

(1) My definition of food narrows pretty significantly when I am unwell
(2)Yes, yes, smartie pants, am not actually sleep blogging. But that's the usual gist.

I find it slightly suprising that we need to have ads ("I have the flu *cough, cough* pass it on") telling people to stay at home when sick.

When you don't get paid sick days (I do in theory, but I used them up) it's very tempting to just go in and soldier on :)

Also I had reflux, which isn't contagious.
