I've always thought of being sick as just like being well -- only with a permit to stay in bed and read a book or watch tv all day. But the trouble with being sick is usually one or two places hurt quite alot. Like your head, not permitting you to read. Or your stomach, not allowing you to think, or really even breathe properly.

So I think we should just suffer at work when we're sick and save the staying at home for being well. It would be alot more fun that way.
