One last work related "help" !!

[misshark122]

I don't have any sick leave left/ or vacation. Which is totally fine. Originally I gave 2 weeks notice but yesterday they told me since I won't be receiving any new clients that making Monday my last day is better (I am getting this in writing signed by two different people - I don't trust them... ha).

Anyway, I feel like I'm getting sick. It started yesterday, I didn't sleep that good because my throat was tickling all night. I have a headache right now. My throat is still tickling and making me cough. Work doesn't have A/C and yesterday it was absolutely brutal in there! I also think it sucks for me to go in and cough and potentially get my coworker sick (I used to share an office with my boss but since there is tension between us I'm sharing it with a coworker until I leave).

Is it really a big deal if I take today off? do you think? I am sure my boss will just tell them I am lying and not really sick. But apparently she can make up stories and they believe here anyway, so at this point does it really matter what I actually do?

I already closed up all my cases and did what I have to do. I will literally be sitting there surfing the internet all day.

thoughts?
ETA: And I have 8 hour pilate training days on Sat and Sun this weekend so I'd really rather rest and try to be better for those, since i really need to go to them!

I would suck it up and go to work. Unless you're on your deathbed.

I'd also cough and sneeze and then touch your boss's stuff to spread the wealth.

This. I'd go into her office while she's at lunch and cough all over everything in her office.

Sounds like you went in, I agree with Ditzy and Mav, cough it up and spread the joy! Sip some tea at your desk and surf the internet...... you'll feel good that you went in, good that you potentially spread germs and you can still take it easy sitting there reading these boards!

On a side note, feel better soon! How many training classes do you have to take of your pilates before you're certified or licensed? I remember talking about this a while back when I signed up to become a licensed Zumba instructor. My training is tomorrow 8 to 10 hours of zumba!! My instructor friends tell me to expect to feel like dying and leave with blisters. They actually tell you to bring a full change of clothes down to your underwear because you'll need it 1\2 through the class. yikes!

Good luck with your last few days and with your classes!!!

Whoa Majick that sounds intense!! good luck! you'll do great!!

The pilates training course is 450 hours... so many are lecture, self practice, practice teaching, assistant teaching, and observation. It's going to take a while! but soon I can do it all the time!

Sucks but I think you made the right call. Even though you really SHOULD have stayed home, no one at the office would believe it was a legit excuse.
