I grew up being taught that a cold is not sufficient reason to stay home from school or work. But as I get older I find that colds hit me harder, and I do end up having to take a sick day when it reaches its peak.

I've never been sick with anything contagious so far at work, but I do have a chronic illness that gives me a couple of bad days a year, and I stay home on those occasions. No need to go to work and vomit there while I can do that at home and crawl back into bed.
Everything else (flu, etc) I would normally just suck it up and go to work, but people do have a valid point about spreading germs. |

I won't miss a day of work unless I'm so sick that I'm totally useless.

It depends.
If I have something important at school going on, then I usually rough it out. (I rarely get sick and when I do, it's usually half a day, a day at most).

Usually I like to think I would prefer to stay home... but at the end of a day spent at home, I usually feel pretty crappy.

I never call in sick. I would have to be literally unable to walk to do so. Cold's are easy. Stop being wusses.

First option. Unless I'm really sick.

I'm unemployed, so no prizes for guessing what my answer is...
