It's back. With a vengeance.

Aching muscles. Dizziness. Maybe even a fever.

If I stomped my foot and said "I want to go home RIGHT NOW," do you think it would work?

Can I go too?

Are you still sick? That's no good.

[ariedana.livejournal.com]

Not only am I still sick, but I'm hounded by all the "you were gone yesterday, so I need this done today" contingent...

*passes the soup to both of you*

Get better soon, ladies!

You're supposed to tap your heels for that, not stomp.

I bet they'd demand you go home if you vomitted on a law professor. plus you'd probably feel a little better on principle.

[allanorn.livejournal.com]

I am in full agreement. However, it works better if you vomit near your boss. Note that I do not condone vomiting on your boss.

maybe when one of the profs is talking to her boss?

This is how I personally handle such situations. I walk toward the timeclock and seeing the boss just hold up my hand in that "talk to the hand" manner and say "i'm sick. I'm going home." In a very definite manner. And if they ask for proof, get as graphic as possible about how you *just* puked in the ladies room.

Uh, I thought you had to wear red shoes and click your heels together while repeating "There's no place like home..." But I won't be terribly surprised if I'm mistaken. ;-)

However, in all seriousness, simply tell your supervisor that you were exposed to the flu during Labor Day weekend, and have begun experiencing symptoms thereof. Most workplaces, no matter how fascist and/or idiotic, are at least reasonable enough to wish to avoid the spread of a contagious condition throughout the staff. :-)
