rivendellrose | sinus joys

God damn it. That sinus thing that's been haunting me for the last few weeks has finally settled in to roost. This is likely to mean at least a week of me stumbling around zombified and decidedly... hmm. Sinusy.

And so, a question: If, when one was hired, one was told that the company policy was "If you're sick, we'd rather have you stay at home because many of us have small children," does one take that to heart, or assume that sore throat and sinus headache do not apply? At my old job I always assumed that if I could drag myself to class, I could drag myself the rest of the way to work, because if I didn't they would be short-handed for the stuff that needed to get done. And if I did and they didn't need me, they would send me home. I'm not sure how that logic applies to this job. :/

Update: I'm in the office, drinking tea, and hoping that I can convince people to let me go a little early today... maybe a half-day or something like that. Sinus things always hang onto me forever if I don't make a concerted effort to lose them early.
