At school, I think of relief when I should be thinking about work. I always wanted to be a workaholic and wanted to know how to get/become one. But, that's off topic. Now most of the times, I need a break, and I think why not get myself sick? At this march, I got the common cold, but then I was thinking recently, I now want the flu. Is this normal?
It can be depending on why you want it.I can see what you mean by allowing yourself a break. Sometimes I find that I would like to be sick just for a chance to relax and get special attention. Maybe your body is just craving some time for itself.
Have you ever had the flu? Terrible! Do that not give vacation time where you work?
I think it's normal to think that (we all want a break now and then), but not a very bright idea since it's just more work in the long run.
Like Aussie said, you'd have to work much harder to make it all up. Flus are tricky buggers. You could get one that lasts three days or one that lasts two-three weeks. I remember I once got sick in 1st grade and I was out for about 6-8 days. The school sent my work and it was terrible. I was sick and they sent me tons of work. The time I spent working, Could've gone towards helping me get over my cold.
If you want a break, you could always call in sick. But be warned, you might still have to make it up!
no because you will have to work twice as hard when you get back to catch up on the work you missed. and you are at school, you get a break every couple of months! wait until you get into the work force, you wont be able to handle having to work everyday with only 2 weeks off a year. appreciate your childhood.
