Got to do anything for those business accounts.


Business accounts.
My job is nothing but deadlines, when I have stuff due I have to work one way or the other. I can work from home if need be and when I'm sick that's usually what I'll do, at least when I have stuff closing. If I don't have anything closing right away and I think I can get away with it and still make my deadlines then hello couch goodbye office.

Generally I hate working from home, I find it hard to get anything done there are to many distractions and I don't have the discipline to work full days.



OP, you should just call in and tell them you would like to use your sick days as paid time off it's totally cool and absolutely acceptable. Make sure you call in like a boss and if they give you any lip tell them you get it how you live.
