How come that once a year or so, when I am sick, I still feel like I am lying when I call in sick? How come we are raised to believe that if we are not almost dead then we are not really sick? How many time have I not been well but still gone to work - cause maybe I'm not really sick..and then it takes me week to get over a cold? Has it all to do with our parents looking at us when we tried to fake a day of school and telling us "go to school if you don't feel better at lunch time you can come home".. or is it because we have all worked in a place where at least one colleague have faked a sick day or use the day for no-certificed sick leave as leave - because the needed to do something or go somewhere?
Or is the reall dead that we are dead scared that something interesting will happen at work at we would miss out? Why this guilt as we were doing someting illigal?
You might just wonder why I write we - well because most time when I ask my girls friends this question they all say the same - "my parents raised me to feel that if I was not almost dead then I was not really sick".... Can you tell, I'm home sick today and feel very guilty about it even though I shouldn't. I have not really been inspired to write lately and also I guess I am not that use to sharing - I'm better at listning....
