I woke up with a sore throat this morning and went to work. On the drive to work, I was listening to 680 News and during the Health segment they discussed the issue of people going to work sick and exposing others to their germs. I thought my sore throat would pass but once I got to work I realized I should have stayed home. What with all the SARS and flu paranoia, I thought I should go home and save others from exposure to my germs. [not to mention, getting to leave work early and relax ;-) ] So I stayed the morning, then let my manager know that I had a sore throat, and I went home.
I've rarely used sick days unless I absolutely had to. I(like many others) might wake up one morning, feel crappy, and unless I'm absolutely dying, drag myself to work rather than call in sick. Why did I do it? Well no more! Stacey Burling of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote an article outlining why people go to work when they're sick.
ps. I'm glad I listened to 680 News this morning!

Links o' the day! :
- Yahoo! LAUNCH hosts a great bunch of streaming music videos. One of my favourite songs of 2003 was "The Seed 2.0" by The Roots featuring Cody Chestnutt. The combination of echoey, soulful vocals by Cody Chestnutt and The Roots funky rhymes, beats and live instrumentation is simply sublime. Click here to access the video.
- If this site hasn't yet exceeded its allocated data transfer, try grabbing a .WMV file[14 mb] of Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks performing "Jenny & The Ess-Dog" live on Late Show with David Letterman.
- Whether The Darkness are being ironic or not, their song "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" is so freakin' catchy! Check out the video at UndergroundOnline.
