Why do you call in sick? I usually am never actually sick enough to call in sick. Usually, I use them as days that I don't want to go to work. My work pays you for whatever sick leave you don't use...unless you're salary (which I am).

 

im in the army and been on con-leave for the last 2 1/2 months so im on along sick leave deployment wasnt nice to me

 

i haven't been sick in years, not sick enough to miss work. I miss a few days here and there though just because some days i don't want to do it.

 

I've done one of the above at some point at my last job (the job that made me realize I need to go back to school), but generally, I do not call in.

 

I have only called off 3 times in the 4 years I have worked at my job. The first time was to go buy a vehicle. The second time was because I was snowed in and my car was major stuck in my driveway and the third time was to go take my motercycle endorsement test-witched I passed then went and bought the F4 that same day. The dayI was snowed in-my boss knew that was the reason, but the other to times I called in sick.

 

I try not to call in too much. Normaly, the only reason that I call in is for my GF. If we need some catching up and I'm realy sick of work, I'll call in. When she has doc appointments, not all the time, but once in a while.

 

last time i actually called in sick i had a touch of broncitus, an upper respitory infection, onset of pneumonia, sinus infection and pink eye....that was a chitty week. couldnt breathe or see lol

 

I call in sick to go ride my bike. I usually take a half a day every month as I aquire them every month and go ride my bike.

 

when I am sick or get sick days.
