Like a lot of people, I've ended up with the flu. I learned a new word, though: presenteeism.
Somehow I don't think this will ever be frowned on as much as calling in sick does. Most people would gamble that they won't catch anything from a co-worker versus having the certainty of a heavier work load.
Dunno - If someone comes in to the office spraying atomized, germ-filled snot in the air, I encourage them to take off, otherwise I'll end up calling in sick - and I prefer to save my sick days for enjoyment.
Feel better.

Chicken soup, Donnah, chicken soup.
