The sickest you've ever been to work/school.

[Envy 6,162]

I have to be REALLY sick before I'll call out of work, or miss a day of classes. I'm not saying I have a high tolerance for pain or anything like that. It's just between everything I am sick a lot of the time, and if I called out every time I was sick, had a migraine, etc., I would lose my job/fail classes.

 

There's only been one illness that I've called out of work for, and that was a sinus infection. I'm mainly a nose-breather, so when my nose gets really stopped up (it's always stopped up, but the vast majority of the time it's at a tolerable level), I begin to have issues. It was so stopped up during this sinus infection that I couldn't breathe through my nose a lot of the time, and it would put me through times where it was too stopped up and I had trouble breathing... It was so scary.

 

The reason I called out was because during the time of the sinus infection, I absolutely could not sleep, and I wasn't going into work without any sleep on top of feeling like that. Considering so many people at my work call out so often (some doing so in a way to get more time... Playing the system), they should be very happy I have standards and would have still come into work had I had sleep.

 

Granted one time I went home at lunch because of a migraine with dizzy spells, but that isn't like me. The manager was letting some people go home early that night to 'cut extra hours', and me with said conditions gladly took the opportunity.

I once went to school on two days without sleep, I ended up passing out in gym. Like, they just let me sleep on the gym floor for about an hour before sending me home.

Coughing into my trumpet sick.....not my worse but during a performance that was hard on my vocal chords...Lets just say I needed cough drops to survive.

Went to work with a punctured lung... for 3 weeks.
