Nothing wrong with an occasional sick day. Even if you aren't contagious or if you're feeling better now, consider it a "mental health" day. An employer will take 4 efficient days of work over 5 half-assed days of work, because that only equals 2.5 full-assed days.

Go fishing. If you're gonna feel guilty you might as well make it worth your while.

Overmedicate yourself and then start posting under the influence.

That's known as a nap in the Leroy household?

My daughter's school asks that kids not be sent to school until fever free for 24-hours. I'd say you qualified for staying home.

Well, the Large Hadron Collider is down, but you don't see it feeling guilty, do you?
