Sick Day...

I am not sick very often but when it happens, I just want to stay home to heal faster and take some rest.
This time, I think I get the Stomach Flu with loss of appetite, abdominal cramps and vomiting... Not a good thing to go to work in that condition.

In the US, we get so few vacation that lot of people go to work, even if they are sick. In fact, their vacation time and sick time off are combined.
Companies are aware of this phenomenom called "Presenteism" where sick people come to work and contaminate their co-worker and at the end, this is bad for everybody.
