I've finally been able to convince my wife to take sick days after YEARS of her pushing through colds, coughs and flu. It's just as much as a courtesy to your fellow co-workers as it is to yourself to take some days off when you look like you're about to cough/sneeze/puke your lungs and liver out and you're popping a tylenol/advil every hour just to stay at work. I don't want that shit. Get the hell out of the office and use your damn sick days.

I know for a fact that this co-worker who is coughing non stop like a cat with furballs in its throat is not even taking vacation days. He wants to be paid out for four weeks of vacation. Every time his manager asks him if he wants to be paid out for vacation leave not taken, he says with enthusiasm "cash!".

No wonder he's sick so much in the winter. He doesn't take vacation EVER.
