Major downside of living on your own if you wake up feeling unwell at some ungodly hour - staying awake till the office opens so you can phone in sick because nobody else is there to do it for you when all you want to do is crawl into bed and pull the covers over your head. :(

I do feel a bit better, thanks. Though not well enough to go back to work tomorrow, I expect. ;)

Probably best to take the rest of the week off. You don't want to spread germs to your work colleagues. Definitely in their best interest for you to stay home and write fic protect them from potential contagious infection.

I'm sorry to hear that you're sick and I hope that you feel better soon.

Thanks. :)

Oh, I know what you mean. I need to teach the cats how to phone the office.

Many hugs, hon. Take care of yourself and stay in bed as much as possible.

Yes, critters need to do that, it would be extremely helpful. Of course, I'd still have to get out of bed to let the ferrets out of the hutch and into the house, and chances are they'd get distracted mid-conversation and wander off...

Ah, you poor thing, being unwell sucks. Mind you, phoning in sick sucks too. I was made to feel like I'd committed murder, not one 'hope you feel better soon', gits!

Anyway, hope you feel better soon.

Yes, it's tricky when it's something undefined like my current state of general mehness rather than something tangible like a broken arm you're going to be able to batter them with when you do go back to work... ;)

Commiserations. I found a solution to that and if I feel so deathly that I want to forget about needing to call in at 9am, I send an email to a select number of colleagues, with delivery and read receipts requested. Then I figure that if the office systems go down and they don't get the email, I did my duty, and they can call ME to ask why I'm not there.

I once emailed in sick at 5:30am.

Alternative is a text message. Heck, they get used for dumping people - why not for calling in sick?
