I've noticed something lately since I've been trying to fight off this mega mutant cold/fever for going on two weeks.

I feel guilty every time I miss work.

Is this good work ethic, or is this some sort of tired sickness related guilt trip I'm putting myself on?

It'd be one thing if I were making up the all night hacking cough, mucus overload, and barely being able to speak, but really... if you're really sick, should you feel bad about missing [what for me has been so far last week] two days of work?

Does anyone else feel this way about work?
Perhaps your parents programed you this way?

I know my mother tended to lay a guilt trip on me when I stayed home from school sick in high school. She probably thought I was always faking it... which I usually was. Maybe I worry my boss believes I'm faking it?

Thoughts and feelings on work/school/class absences and how you felt about it?
