Awww... Poor you. :-(<br/><br/>Here the boss pays me even if I call in sick. Luckily I'm almost never ill though. On average I have about 3 - 4 sick days a year. So far I had none this year and I'm not even sure if I had any last year, though I do remember having called in sick for 2 days when I had the flue and felt too crappy to go to work.<br/><br/>With my previous employer I called in sick for 3 weeks a year, which was mostly due to the stress of the job and the terrible air conditioning they had. Not to mention the fact that we worked with 100 people in a relatively small space. If one person was sick the rest would soon become sick too, since it spread like a wildfire.
