Tidbits Calling In Sick Calling In Sick I really hate calling in sick to work. Deciding to call sick into work is a very complicated affair for me. It's like a bizarre calculation with varying factors and degrees of "How bad do I really feel?". I have to ask myself all sorts of questions when think I may need to stay home. Like how badly do I react to the light? How amplified is sound? Can I stand to wear clothes? How bad does my hair hurt? Can I open my eyes? Is there any numbness anywhere? Is my speech slurred? Just how nauseous am I? Can I talk somewhat normally or is it down to a clench jawed whisper? Can I stand to put my make-up on? Is a shower excruciating? Just how dizzy am I? Can I even move my head without the room spinning around? If I take my migraine drugs now, lay back down and wait an hour, will I feel good enough to go to work? Will the Migraine drugs even work? Can I realistically safely drive? Can I actually visualize myself driving to work, getting out of my car, walking into my building, booting up my computer and tackle the day's schedule? I encourage you to create your personalized list of questions to help you determine if you should stay home. You know yourself better than anyone else.
