I won't be making it into the office today...(cough, cough)

Gawker gives you the rules on using sick days (hint: don't use them when you are sick because that is no fun at all).

The hangover day has been a topic of conversation. Some people feel it's OK as long as you don't do it a lot. Me? I like to punish myself for drinking too much (why is that a lesson we have to learn over and over in life?). So I work through it...sometimes I even run it off.

When I have managed people, I have always been cool with the impromptu day off. If you don't have anything on your calendar, skedaddle. No need to act sick.

    Do you really think that that would be wise in this economy?

    Uhm, you do realize that this was humor, don't you?

    We used to call those kind of sick days "mental health days". 90% of my current co-workers have no idea what I'm talking about and seem somewhat put off by the apparent dishonesty of it.

    Does not work for virtual workers. Seems not right to call in sick, when you are already at home.
