Take time off. You will be jeopardising your immune system when the flu really hits you. And sweating at this moment of time will further encourage infection. So, go home and take some good needed rest and yes, don't forget your Vitamin Cs.

Just tell them that you don't feel good and that you are running a fever. It doesn't matter where you work really.  Unfortunately now these days, employers don't really believe when a person is ACTUALLY sick because it has been outplayed so many times.

Wow.  Five weeks of vacation/sick?  That IS incredible.  You better take advantage of what they're giving you while you can since you're going to be slammed starting in Jan.  You're wanting to take off the 4 remaining days you have around Christmas.  I would imagine it would be pretty slow around that time anyway.  The easiest way to approach your boss is to simply ask.  Something like, How's it looking around such and such dates?  I'd like to take 4 days but if we're going to be busy during that time, then I could work something else out.  Your job sounds great.

20 EXCUSES FOR BEING LATE TO SCHOOL/WORK\n(warning the use of these excuses may result in loss of job or ejection from the class)\n\n1. My dog died and I had to take him/her to the vet to get cremated.\n\n2. There was a really bad accident on the (freeway in your area) and I was stuck in traffic for ever.\n\n3. I made the mistake of letting in some Jehova's Wittneses and they wouldn't leave.\n\n4. I hit a car in the parking lot (start describing your bosses/proffesors car) and had to leave a note.\n\n5. I'm not late...everyone else is just early.\n\n6. I'm late because I hate my job/this class and most of all I hate you...I QUIT!\n\n7. Sorry I'm late, I got sidetracked at Krispy Kreme's....but I got some for you.\n\n8. I killed my parents and had to dismember their corpses and bury the evidence.\n\n9. The classic: My alarm clock broke at I woke up late.(never works)\n\n10. I been up for the last 60 hours on a crack binge and need a quiet place to sleep.\n\n11.

When you get in use your imagination to describe the most horrific traffic accident you can think of.\n\n16. I hit a dog and had to stop...then look at your boss and say "wouldn't you have done the same thing?!?"\n\n17. Start getting upset and say "That's ludicrous I'm not late, I still have 10 minutes to spare!"...then start tapping your wristwatch and hold it up to your ear (if its not digital)...then kinda sigh and hang your head.\n\n18. Act like you don't speak english.\n\n19. Sorry my AA meeting ran a little long.\n\n20. Just look at your boss/proff. like you're crazy.

I would say that is what "sick time" and/or personal days are for.\nMy advice is schedule your appointment as early or late as possible so you can still get the most out of your work day....let your boss know as soon as you can.  also let him know you scheduled your appointment so that you can still come to work so he's aware of your consideration for him.

Yes, sometimes, especially if you are sick already!

Well, maybe this will help you feel better. On my first day of work I woke up sick, I had a 24 hour flu bug or something. I went to work anyway though because I didn't want to miss my first day of work. During the orientation meeting I had to get up three times to throw up and the worst part was that I was pale so the people I got hired with knew exactly why I was getting up. I ended up having to go home. Luckily the bosses weren't angry, they found it funny that it happened my first day and they felt bad for me too. I was afraid I was going to get fired. I've been there two months now. \nGood luck on your new job, you can't possibly have as bad of a day as I did.

Not tonight. I'm currently off sick but when at work I quite often have to work at all hours (I'm a coach driver)

Not trouble per se just consequences. Do you have sick leave? Are you frequently late or fail to show up at all? Did you call in to tell them that you were sick prior to work shift?Ask to see the Human Resources/company  guidelines in writing governing sick absences. Be professional!!! No yelling or screaming.Stick with the facts only. Request a review from the higher ups and/ or the Labor Board. Peace.

Go out with other people. Its the only way. Other substitutes are good alcohol, great food, and a massage. But nothing gets you out of sick mode better than getting back on the dating wagon!

Tell them:  "I'm sorry but I just don't feel like eating today."  And then go somewhere and get something to eat.
