Your Hacking Cough

If you have a serious illness, stay home from work. As someone who often stays home from work because I am lazy, I often feel guilty about actually taking sick days. (Clinical Depression is technically an illness, right? What about my addiction to West Wing?) But there are times when you should stay home, for the public good.

One of those times is when you have a deep, chest rattling, horrible, phlegmy cough, and you decide to come to the quiet room of the library to study. Stay home.

Another of those times is when you decide to sneeze and sniffle away while waiting for takeout Chinese food. Order in.

Sick days exist for a reason: to not spread germs. Do me a favor, and keep yours at home.
